But there's a limit to that. There's (relatively) very few people that can explain the details of e.g. a compiler, compared to for example React front-end developers that build B2C software (...like me). And these software projects grow, ultimately to the limit of what one person can fit in their head.
Which is why we have lots of "rules" and standards on communication, code style, commenting, keeping history, tooling, regression testing, etc. And I'm afraid those will be the first to suffer when code projects are primarily written by LLMs - do they even write unit tests if you don't tell them to?
