>How could the maintainers understand their codebase if most of it was not directly written by them?

Counterpoint: I look back at code I wrote a few years ago and just take it on faith that I knew what I was doing at some point. That's still better than never knowing, but it requires faith--faith in a human, vs. faith in an LLM.

Yep. These days, simplicity is a massive part of my development style. I don't want to be looking at a codebase, even my own, and thinking "shit, this guy was way smarter than me".
