AI might like spaghetti code

Humans need clean, modular code to manage complexity, collaborate, and debug. We've built frameworks and design patterns to help us write code that makes sense to other humans.

AI doesn't have the exact same limitations. It prefers code that is collocated and stuffed together as much as possible. It's perfectly fine with generating and maintaining code that looks like a tangled mess to us.

But that doesn't mean structure is irrelevant. AI still needs some level of organization to reason about changes, optimize performance, and manage abstraction. The difference is, it may not need the same kind of structure we do.

So what looks like spaghetti code to us might be a perfectly functional system to an AI. Messy by human standards, efficient by machine standards.
