코드는 더 싸졌다

The article reveals a paradoxical consequence of AI code generation proliferation: while the cost of writing code has plummeted, the cost of understanding generated code has significantly increased. As system complexity grows exponentially while LLMs operate without complexity awareness, engineers must adopt a 'subtractive engineer' mindset—focusing on removal and simplification rather than addition—to maintain software quality and preserve the craft of programming in the AI era.
