I'm struggling with this on a hobby project now. I'm torn between continuing the fast pace of development and taking a pause and checking the entire codebase.
The more features I add now will likely make the inevitable refactor much harder, but adding new features is so easy that I want want extend this illusion of productivity just a little bit longer!
Yeah my logic was, we're doing so many refactors that it doesn't make sense for me to start memorizing how things work until things settle down a little.
The argument in favour of "read each delta" (aside from catching them doing stupid shit) is to keep your mental model synced. But I already didn't understand my own code before AI, so that's moot too!
