The idea of untangling AI generated typescript spaghetti fills me with dread.

It’s as bad as untangling the last guy’s typescript spaghetti. He quit, so I can’t ask him about it either.

When you ask AI to do a thing, you at least have some minimal amount of intent — you just need to retain the prompt.

Most of the time, programmers don’t record all of the assumptions and design decisions in code or documentation.

Weird argument, but I’m down to bikeshed a bit.

most of the time there’s an old ticket in the work tracker.

I’d bet those tickets contain at least as much info as any prompt.
