I see where you're coming from. Some code may stick, and some generated code actually looks decent. There is a lot of coffee-fueled code that will never see the light of day again as well. It's just that there has been an inflation in code. Almost like the quantity has a positive quality all on its own, when that should be a negative ("Look at this 50k code app made in 1 day"). I think the next generation of code generators should be penalized for writing verbose code. Hopefully they'll ease the burden of maintaining systems instead of adding to it. My experience is that once a code base gets a certain size, agents start to lose the big picture - and often repeats themselves. Adding similar but not quite the same code. Less code will probably help here too. Still. If it works, it works. It's the next phase after the system's first steps I worry about (extending and maintaining).
