Dotey: In the AI Era, Care About Product Polish, Not Code Cleanliness—Agents Don't Care
dotey · x · 2026-11-04
dotey builds on developer ku1zu0's observation from taking over several AI vibe-coded legacy projects: many people still skip optimizing dev experience even when agents write the code—slow tasks often blamed on model speed are actually caused by slow type checks, lint, and tests that the agent has to wait on.
dotey's take: in the AI era, focus your energy on product details—UX, performance, security—because agents don't care about code details or cleanliness. ku1zu0 jokes that even with a well-tuned repo, Codex is still slow, and asks whether the implementation process matters to anyone anymore.
