pass a certain LOC number, the utility become negative (unless they were pure tests).
It massively boosts my efficiency as just reading the code myself would take days.
And with LLMs also more context and token usage and cost.
It's too easy to add bloat and complexity that can never go away, and with the tooling we now have a significant portion of engineers are now active risk to the projects they are working on.
I'm talking about adding code to a code base. After a certain size, it's mostly garbage. I subscribe to the old unix principle and I have yet to seen a reason how LLM has changed it, it in fact became much more important now as a coding agent would happily add any crap to any repository.
