We are all doomed to maintain legacy code once generated by AI

This Habr article highlights a critical issue in the future of software development: the accumulation of technical debt created via generative AI. The author notes that while AI tools have significantly accelerated coding and lowered initial development costs, the long-term consequences remain unclear. As projects grow, the cost of maintaining AI-generated code may increase exponentially, creating significant obstacles for updates and releases. The core message is that the current ease of code generation could turn into an 'AI-legacy' burden that teams will face in the near future. The author urges developers to consider the quality and maintainability of code produced by automated agents to avoid a technical debt crisis that becomes increasingly difficult to manage as projects scale.
