I already see lots of boutique consultancies popping up specifically saying they will fix tour slop code bases. Developers and doctors will never run out of work.

    I'm not sure fixing it will be possible.

    They will have to trash a bunch of it and rewrite entire modules and components from scratch.

    I’ve seen as AI keeps iterating over enhancements and bug fixes, the spaghetti code gets worse and worse over time. At some point only the AI understands its own code, as it is too much garbled nonsense for a human to trace through. Eventually that becomes too much garbage for the ai to trace through. And then that’s where you end up.

    The idea that this can be some kind of non-deterministic abstraction layer between pseudo code and actual code is absurd.
