Like you, I almost only worked on my own code and nobody else worked on mine. I also knew I wouldn't have to maintain, usually not even expand it, so I worked accordingly.None if this holds for programming in business, and this is why you keep hearing people saying that the output of coding agents suck. It does! I won't accept the insinuation that people just dismissed it. I use frontier models daily and try to keep up with best practices. Even und
