New chapter in the Agentic Engineering Patterns guide argues that refactoring tasks once "conceptually simple but time-consuming" (API redesigns, nomenclature cleanup, code consolidation) are now economically feasible via background agents. Reframes the quality debate from "AI produces bad code" to "AI makes good-code investments affordable." simonwillison.net
