Well sooner or later I would expect a developer who intimately understands their code base to feel compelled to start refactoring and extracting fitting, meaningful well-leveraged abstractions.

I don't think that will happen anytime soon. Prompts are the code now, and programming languages code is compilation product. Almost nobody optimizes compiled assembly code.

Perhaps "recompilation" - rewrite by replaying all prompts in strict code quality context (linters, complexity & dedup checks) would make better abstractions.

The only problem now is that LLMs are non-deterministic.
