honest recommendation: nuke and pave after analyzing (w/ AI of course) where it went horribly wrong.

it's trivial to reimplement a better solution.

Its a bit of workspace politics, I would need to call that guy out to tell that he is not hyper-performer, but just pushed lots of low quality code which will produce lots of negative impact in a long term.

Also, I am not sure if it is trivial to implement. The code is injected into many scenarios and workflows, so replacement will be painful and risky if new solution break some edge case.

The problem was definitely because they didn't use enough AI fast enough. They should just try again
