I don’t think so, because it’s being used as a way to try to remedy one of the new problems brought in by agentic coding - loss of context of what code does.
But if the code base is constructed in a way which results in strong test suites (human driven), quality evals, robust documentation, and modular implementation, will the human really lose that much context?
Given that those things are checked off, I am having a tough time believing a frontier model, in conjunction with a new dev on a project, can't be immediately valuable to determining what is going on in a repo.

Seems like wishful thinking. Why not just pay skilled software developers to write the code the tried and true way?
