AI Code Rot Needs New Tactics
*Software always decays unless corrected*
- Codebase decay, known as 'code rot,' is accelerating with autonomous AI agents
- Lehman's second law: software evolves and decays if unmanaged (read more)
- Human teams long faced this; with agents, issues multiply faster
- Solutions: Adversarial code reviews and hierarchical, constitution-like requirement docs (example: BIBLE.md)
- New principle: Requirements > architecture > implementation
- Challenges: Current LLMs lack long-term project context; existing test frameworks aren’t enough
- Hope for LLMs with 10B+ token context windows
- Projects like Uroboros and IMMUNE focus on meta-systems and improving dev process itself
- Bottom line: We can build better agent-based workflows, but must up our anti-rot game
