Then you are boned unless it was architected well. LLMs tend to stack a lot of complexity at local scopes, especially if the neighboring pages are also built poorly.

E.g pumping out a ton of logic to convert one data structure to another. Like a poorly structured form with random form control names that don’t match to the DTO. Or single properties for each form control which are then individually plugged into the request DTO.

Must be my lucky day! Too bad my dream of being that while the bots are taking care of the coding is still sort of fiction.

I love a future when this is possible but what we have today is more of a proof of concept. A transformative leap is required for this technology before it can be as useful as advertised.

you could also use some code styling agent scripts that make todo lists of everywhere where there's bad architecture, and have it run through fixing those issues until its to your liking.

theyre reasomable audit tools for finding issues, if you have ways to make sure they dont give up early, and you force them to output proof of what they did
