the real flex isn’t writing code. it’s writing maintainable code. yes or no?

@codevsdev The real flex is writing code that lets ai agents write maintainable code 😂

@codevsdev yes. leaving behind something others can actually touch is the real skill

@codevsdev I think that's right. But now it's "using AI to write maintainable code."

@codevsdev yes. mostly 'cause that means i'm flexin' on the haters

@codevsdev Define maintainable code? Therein lies the challenge - subjective

@codevsdev Absolutely. A code that you don't understand yourself the next day, it not the code a real developer writes

@codevsdev too little known about the idiots interacting with my code i'd need more info :P

@codevsdev No, it's writing code you understand.

@codevsdev more like writing maintainable architecture

@codevsdev Yeah the ai writes it and maintains it......duh

@codevsdev You are right. The future I am unable to see - if agents also maintain the code for the long term, does it matter?

@codevsdev Yes, but the actual flex is writing code someone else can confidently delete. That is when you know it is maintainable.

@codevsdev Strictly no. half the "maintainable" code i've seen is just over-engineering for a future that never came. if the next dev can delete your code without fear, that's the actual flex

@codevsdev Code became a commodity and not all code needs to be maintained
