Hello everyone, recently I am refactoring old AI codes in hot spots. I used both Claude Code and Codex to quickly implement the feature at that time. It works but when I look into the logic today, it introduces too much unnecessary complexity (a lot of helper/manager/try-except). Although I have manipulated CLAUDE.md (emphasizing KISS principle, introduce Linus https://gist.github.com/iiiyu/4c... ), the code agent still try to add entropy on the whole project. I can understand the code LLM is trained to program defensely, but if I do not review carefully and really understand the logic, the project quickly becomes hard to maintain. Now every week I will leave 1 day to write codes without AI to clean the whole project for longer future.
Do you have similar experiences or solutions to share?
