Same here...
We commit bad decision, then in the next PR, workaround the bad decision (instead of undoing it), then in the next PR we have to workaround (aka deal with) the initial bad decision + work around...so on and so forth...
And at any point, manually reviewing the changes becomes impossible because you have to reason about the changes keeping all the workarounds and special cases in your mind...
> workaround the bad decision (instead of undoing it)
I'm convinced that LLM-generated comments accelerate this problem, because they embed twists that a human didn't choose, and then those affect what gets generated next.
Much the same way LLM-characters don't do so well at answering "I don't know", there's a problem of them failing to cull context.
