I don't know about that. The constraint seems to be context since AI struggles to hold all of the pieces for a project mentally while making changes like an experienced maintainer can. I find AI is a lot like using a credit card. It seems like free money at first until you start paying back the tech debt of a junior programmer who had no idea how to architect a project. You end up making your own legacy code base, except you were the one who made it... And because your context has long since been wiped clean from using your AI it can't remember why it did what it did.
"Only Claude and God knew what this did when Claude made this code. Now that it's context has expired, only God knows."
