A 'Senior Principle Engineer' in my fiat job thinks that the role of AI is to infer the spec from our existing codebases (they are unmaintainable, underspecified, untested, human slop), so that every time a new 'vastly superior' model appears we should ask it to rewrite the code from scratch using this inferred spec as the guide

#NGMI

"... extract a spec (product, engineering) from an existing codebase, force an isolated AI agent to rebuild it from scratch, and measure the divergence. The goal is to discover the minimal codebase practices we must adopt today so that when vastly superior models release tomorrow, we can confidently hit “re-generate” on entirely AI-generated codebases and guarantee the output is strictly better."
