alt Hacker NewsSame here. I have now deleted 43k and counting lines of my codebase. There is no point in putting any AI code into production anymore as it almost always uses none or the wrong abstractions.
When you try to throw more agents at the problem or even more verification layer, you just kill your agility even if they would still be able to work
Case in point, just this morning I contributed a one-line change to an open source repo and the CI started failing.
I asked Claude (Opus High Effort) and pasted in all the logs. I went back and forth and it very confidently made over 20 separate changes in the repo, none of which fixed the issue. Eventually I stepped in and figured out it was a versioning issue.
I fear what would happen if I ran “10 agents for 10 days” on this simple issue.
