> you try to understand the code, and it's all spaghetti, and you loose more time understanding the code than it would take to just reimplement it.
I agree with you in general, but maybe the jump would be similar to the one from hand-written punchcards/assembly to higher level compilers. Very few people worry about the asm generated from GHC for example. So maybe a lot of code would be like that. I also imagine at some point a better intermediate language for LLMs to generate will be discovered and suddenly that's how most programs will be written.
