Refactoring is cheap too, but you have to read your code and know when to stop and ask the agent to refactor, rewrite, adopt or change libs, fix issues presented by linters and code quality scanners, change abstractions and rethink the architecture.

It's never been easier to replace chunks of code with sane software patterns, but you have to have a feel for those patterns. And also understand what's under the hood.

You folks speak like the only function of the agent is to spit code and features. Get a grip and treat your deliverables with care, otherwise you only have yourself to blame, not the AI.
