That's an interesting observation: how will LLM-generated code age?

Maybe we don't care, we just test it and throw more prompts at it.

But already 90% of some jobs is understanding the legacy code someone else wrote. I suppose LLMs can be good at this. Unless their maintenance of legacy code is just throwing more complexity at it until it becomes unmanageably complex.
