I thought that the article would be about if we want AI to be effective, we should write good code.

What I notice is that Claude stumbles more on code that is illogical, unclear or has bad variable names. For example if a variable is name "iteration_count" but actually contains a sum that will "fool" AI.

So keeping the code tidy gives the AI clearer hints on what's going on which gives better results. But I guess that's equally true for humans.
