Thanks for the wording on your first sentence there. I've been trying to figure out a way to get that thought expressed succinctly.

I think with AI coding, what we call "good" code changes. Lots of abstractions really only exist to help load the context into the human brain so that they can solve the next problem. If an agent can just search and find all the places to make a change, or to duplicate code with small changes for the next problem, is that bad? Does is just feel bad because that's not what we're used to?

We use structured looping instead of gotos because that makes sense to us, but the compiler still turns it into jumps in assembly. If our interaction is now at a higher layer, do we need good "code" or do we just need good "architecture"?

I don't know, but it's just something I've been thinking about lately.
