> Things have been changing drastically. There was once a point where it made sense to create suboptimal code if it meant that your team understood it better. Why? Because changes to the code provided more business value than the code itself being optimal, and if your team didn't understand it, no one could change things. But this is becoming less and less the case. If you can make code faster, better, even at the cost of readability and understandability, by you, but the AI can work with it perfectly fine, why wouldn't you?
I guess this will become the frontline of the upcoming civil war in programming-land...
I think it will be more like the various religious schisms in history. When mapping it to Christianity, I'm just not sure yet whether the AI bros will be Catholic, Protestant, or American Evangelical weirdos (currently tending towards the latter).
