Have you ever worked on a legacy codebase with actual good code? I struggle to see the difference between your predicted future and today's reality when it comes to working with legacy disasters.

Well, on legacy code base, you still needed humans to write those lines of code. There's a maximal amount of lines a human can write in a year.

Now with LLM we are talking of millions and millions of line of code that could be generated in a single day. The scale of the problem might not be the same at all.
