Even if agents can learn to navigate all the stubs and WET crap they leave behind do we really want a code base that no human can follow what's actually going on?
Sure, but that only happens with a clean, concise, human readable codebase. If agents start working directly in binary, it'd be a lot harder to interact and understand what's going on and where the points of failure are..
If anything I've seen them go too far with DRY. Like two small functions have logic that you could separate into a shared helper, but no human programmer would do that because it's an unclean abstraction and breaks next time you want to alter either one at all.
So I personally at a minimum will want to talk “in code” about what code does.
