Funny you mention ghostty since they use a lot of AI, but they review and make sure they understand every line.

There should be some way to measure (and display) how much of a project is understood by the humans behind it.

Yeah, I'm aware. MitchellH posts about it quite a bit, most recently about AI "psychosis". Also, much of ghostty was created without the use of AI, I think. More recently, they've been using it to find bugs, improve performance, and generally refine and enhance ghostty and libghostty.

The LLM is the finishing tool, not the architect or core developer.
