>easy for agents to write and beautiful for humans to review

What's left unspoken here, and something I've brought up in other threads that have mentioned Ruby + LLMs, is that they continue to struggle _comprehending_ Ruby (and Rails) style code. In a fresh project, agents writing code for humans to review is a solid approach, but when the codebase grows and the project starts suffering from the downsides of dynamic typing, you're not going to be able to lean on that LLM to aide you in refactoring.
