Heritage vs. AI: code quality across popular open source projects
- cgr-ciprian 5mo agoWe ran Octokraft (code health platform) on 24 open source projects. 14 heritage repos like Kubernetes, Django, Terraform and 10 AI-heavy ones like Supabase, cal.com, n8n. Both groups have issues, but they look different. Heritage repos show accumulated coordination burden: protocol evolution, config hubs, large controllers, years of backfilled responsibilities. AI-heavy repos show initial over-aggregation: one adapter, one dataloader, one plugin file with too many methods. AI-heavy projects also had about 2x the testing issue density.
