> Managing a codebase written by an LLM is difficult because you have not cognitively loaded the entire thing into your head as you do with code written yourself

This happens with any sufficiently big/old codebase. We can never remember everything, even if we wrote it ourselves

I do agree with the sentiment and insight about the 2 branches of topics frequently seen lately on HN about AI-assisted coding

Would really like to see a live/video demo of semi-autonomous agents running in parallel and executing actual useful tasks on a decently complex codebase, ideally one that was entirely “manually” written by devs before agents are involved - and that actually runs a production system with either lots of users or paid customers
