Someone understanding something and the codebase being coherent are different things. I can only think that you have been lucky with your career placements if you are making that statement.
What you are saying is leaning on 2 premises that seem to not hold water 1. Code written by people is always more readable and maintainable than LLM code 2. Code written by an LLM is always less readable and maintainable
Can you really make those statements in all intellectual honesty?
False assumptions. The human doesn't have to always be more readable, to be usually more readable. And vice versa. LLMs given the opportunity to generate a "feature" almost always generates more complexity than a software engineer would develop.
