As a human who typically uses large files, 10k to 30K lines of code files are pretty common, I find the agents don’t read the whole file after the first time, they almost always do a range select for the bit they are interested in.
- digitaltrees 5mo agoBut you wouldn’t argue that a 30k line file is good code would you? Humans write bad code to. For me the litmus test is: will someone read this in the future. If yes, then write good code. I don’t think we are in the era when a human will never read the code again in human history. So we should still strive for human intelligibility.
