Good code will still win (greptile.com) AI

Greptile’s blog argues that even as AI coding accelerates, “good code” will ultimately prevail because maintainable, simple code is cheaper to generate and fix over time. It points to trends like larger, denser pull requests and increasing outages as signs that brute-force coding can make systems more brittle. The piece suggests market competition and the economics of long-term maintenance will push AI tools toward clearer abstractions and fewer changes rather than “slopware.”
