i've been told that it's totally fine because once the codebase turns into spaghetti you can simply tell the agent to refactor it and then everything will be ok

I know this is a tongue-in-cheek response, but this brings me great pain. The spaghetti begins quickly, and your unit/functional tests won't help you unless you hammered out your module API seams before you even began. Oh, your abstractions are leaking? Your modules know too much about each other? Multiply the spaghetti!
