I recently started consulting for a company that's building an AI first tool.

The entire application is powered through several AI agents, I had a look at their code and had to throw up, each agent is a single Python file of over 4000 lines, you can just look at the first 100 lines and tell its all LLM generated code, the hilarious part is if I paste the code into ChatGPT to help me break it down, it hits the context window in like 1 response!

I think this is one of the main problems with AI code, 5 years ago every time I took on a project, I knew the code I was reading and diving into was written by a human, well thought and structured. These days almost all the code I see is glue code, AI has done severe damage by enabling engineers who do not understand basic structures and fundamentals write 'code that just works'.

At the same time, I don't blame just the AI, cause several times I have written code myself which is gluecode, but then asked AI to refactor it in a way I want and it is usually really good at it.
