After the CC leak last week I took a look at their codebase and my biggest criticism is they seem to never do refactoring passes. Personally I write something like 80-90% of my code with agents now but after they finish up, it's critical that you spin up another agent to clean up the code that the first one wrote. Looking at their code it's clear they do not do this (or do this enough). Like the main file being somet…
How do you do the cleanup? Just /simplify or something you rolled yourself?
Spark is great for this kind of cleanup work because the feedback loop is so tight compared to just about anything else. It's quite hampered by a very small context window but in the context of cleanup/refactoring that's more of a feature than a bug IMHO.
My suggestion for folks that want to do this is make sure you keep reasoning low. The cleanup should be very much human directed and derived from your "taste", at that point you don't want the model to think at all and just blindly do what you tell it to. You want reasoning to be just high enough so it doesn't eff up the code in the process.
