Can't help but notice that this line is not true anymore in 2026: > It’s harder to read code than to write it.

  It's more true than ever. It's still hard to read code, much more so when it's the AI slop people tend to send you these days. And on top of that, you have to read more of it because you can't trust said AI slop to actually be correct without a thorough review.

  what? my impression is that it's truer than ever and this is why so many open-source projects are limiting ai contributions. and the reason GitHub can't seem to stay online for more than a day.

    It’s harder to read -any- code than to write it.
