It doesn't prove any such thing. The rapid iteration allowed by software being an insubstantial mathematical construct resulted in coders munging libraries and frameworks into a runnable hack which they then shipped. It doesn't require much planning or engineering to just drunkenly stumble^W^Witerate their way to something that kinda, sorta works, like Monty Python's "...,The third castle burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one, that one stayed up!" skit. That is how we got to the dire state of existing software. LLM and particularly agentic coding just mechanizes and accelerates these poor practices.
