It's your code review process (with or without agents). If you don't hold this fort, the battle is lost, and the repo is going to devolve.

- Animats 2mo agoWhat I'm getting at was covered in an article yesterday about the end of abstraction. There's an argument being made for layer-free software, where everything is one big blob of code, created and understood only by an LLM. The software is modified only by re-prompting. There are a lot of people edging around this concept, but it's not solid yet.
- unified101 2mo agoCan you point to any place/post making this argument? I'm an active lurker here, and have not seen anyone arguing for layer-free/blob-of-code type of workflow. The fact that some teams find themselves there is simply a realization of what I stated - inactive maintainership by not taking code reviews seriously.
