The main thrust of the article is that codebases can grow too large to be manageable by LLMs.
It simply will not fit the context window, and README files are of limited use.
I think many useful applications can be built without reaching current context window limits, which will certainly grow. Besides, there are many tricks that Claude Code and Codex use for getting around this problem, such as compacting and sharding a task across many agents.
