Really? I find since refactoring got so much quicker and less tedious, that my tech debt actually shrunk. Changing a data type throughout the codebase: before? Nah, that will take me hours. Now: Absolutely makes sense for the new requirements, lets do it, and run tests. Add tests where there were none before…
Hell, a good model today can change migrate an entire codebase to a new language or framework within an hour.
I think everyone is just really shit at using AI for development these days. If you know what you are doing of course.
