I am accustomed to limiting the lines of code in a file to fewer than 500, especially in a complex project. CC ignored the requirement in my current project and I didn’t really notice until things started to get a little out of hand (I am always reviewing code fragments now). Now I have a reasonable refactor job to do but I started thinking about what that mean. I mean I learned to keep files relatively short to make it easier to maintain but I suspect Claude could care less. What does this look like when CC is writing most of your code? Thoughts? How many other rules, guideline and best practices need to be revisited when CC or its equivalent is writing the majority of the code? submitted by /u/bostrovsky
