If a low-code app platform does these things for you the way you want (or even if it only does 90% of what you want, but does it nine times faster and you do the last 10% manually), then those ...

Over the years, the code has become desperately ugly, and to no one’s surprise, the developers want to rewrite it. It’s so Byzantine, they say, that every time they touch it something else breaks.

For most shops, the amount of AI-assisted (or fully AI-written) code in their code bases will be relatively small. But it will inevitably grow as AI-assisted refactoring snowballs.
