Back in the day there was a mantra: best amount od code is 0. Now we have agents spitting lines after lines.

I am not afraid of my future. Even if one person can do work of 5, the amount of generated code will grow exponentially. And not everything can he vibecoded with 0 knowledge. There is a complexity that need understanding to change and optimize. For now :)

It was true for that time, because producing and maintaining the code was done by humans with limited speed of comprehension.

Today, we might challenge this assumption (not saying its wrong or right), because migrations can be done in 1-2 weeks with hundreds of agents.
