The job when picking up a codebase made by human or machine always involves reverse-engineering the design intent from code. That's especially hard for LLM-generated code because the path to runtime was so rushed.

One of the things that annoys me is that we could know what the original intent was, and indeed the preferred form for modification: the prompt! Yet for some reason there's no standard/tradition/expectation that people commit all their prompting.

Perhaps I should start trolling people that your software is not truly Open Source if it's not Open Prompt.
