I've been struggling with this because I do believe maintainability of code is important. But the way it is going, if AI is writing all the code and no human needs to read it anymore, does it really need to be maintainable? Does it matter if it looks like alien code since we can throw it away when using the next AI model? I have no answers of my own to these questions...
