If your spaceship is broken, you'd still be able to fly back to the moon on your own just like our forefathers did! /s

It feels like the arguments here are very "status quo biased" - Ok, sure - I guess for some shops the code is the source of truth for the org and you really have to be prepared/equipped to deeply reason around the code and these so-called-patterns.

Really it seems to me that the era of "agentic coding" has uncovered some uncomfortable truths. This is purely speculative, but it seems like most shops maintain little-to-no specification documentation for defining the code behavior - the code IS the documentation and that feels dangerous from a software engineering / architectural statdpoint.
