Re: Comprehension Debt
I recently wrote about how LLMs can make you lose grip of your codebase by eroding the mental model you built by writing code yourself.
A buddy of mine shared this post with me, and I think it's the most clear and succinct description of this phenomenon -- and Jason Gorman, the author, calls it "comprehension debt".
It’s pretty much guaranteed that there will be many times when we have to edit the code ourselves. The “comprehension debt” is the extra time it’s going to take us to understand it first.
