It’s good that clankers are not afraid of throwing away code. The biggest problem with code generation (that is version controlled) is maintenance. It’s better to throw away questionable code rather than say eh, we don’t quite understand this part (and our agents can’t make a compelling story about it) but we spent a lot of effort on it and it apparently works so we better keep it.

.. only if you know what the code is doing, though. Often the requirements get scattered and lost to the winds and the code is the only record of its own idiosyncratic behavior. And yes, someone's depending on the bugs in it.
