You are talking about an imagined future not current reality. An AI will be as flustered by spaghetti as a human. Or not so much flustered it will just make willy willy changes and end up in an expensive infinite loop of test failures and d

Weird code to have in a modern AI system! Also 14 string scans seems a little inefficient!

Maybe true in 1999? But now the library is a tiny fraction of where people get information from.

I had a practical use to learn this: design interview prep. In the real world some platform team does this (or AWS) and then probably one person in that team for one week implements it. Although good for everyone to understand. You can use

Ok you make good points. Now for the doozy: is thinking (without transcribing for the government) illegal.

Turning that on its head, maybe you want something like a 90s shareware lost, curated by someone. Then the games you'd play for free are now ad free (the game is its own ad to get more levels). And you get that curated list. But yeah l
