Summary from the TLDR newsletter

You have to manage maintenance costs if you want a productive team. AI may help teams produce code faster, but maintenance costs can build up exponentially if teams don't manage the code properly. Even if AI produces code that's just as easy to maintain as human-written code, the productivity gains don't last. Chase improvements to coding speed, but spend just as much time chasing improvements to maintenance costs as well.
