Time bombs and just 2-3x the amount of code for the same thing. I recently rewrote a Claude generated feature from 3000 lines to 800. I guess AI fans are just predicting that no one will have to read the code in the future or something like that.


Yeah, I suspect the 2-3x amount of code, but I can't prove it yet. This will wait for the next report :)


Last study I read said it was 6x.
