ArXi:2604.03135v1 Announce Type: cross Many software systems originate as prototypes or minimum viable products (MVPs), developed with an emphasis on delivery speed and responsiveness to changing requirements rather than long-term code maintainability. While effective for rapid delivery, this approach can result in codebases that are difficult to modify, presenting a significant opportunity cost in the era of AI-assisted or even AI-led programming.
