maybe the definition of 'clean code' in the agentic era should be changed to 'the code that complies to the specs, the design constraints and the exhaustive scenario test suite';

this is definitely a better outcome since all the human effort now shifts to spec, design, test scenarios tailored to the domain - as it should be.

having seen my share of human slop through decades (mine included), finally it's a relief to not have to deal with devs that don't have high standards, and the endless arguments/politics that ensue.

with llm it's just a text file away from compliance.
