Would be a fun topic. A funny hypothesis I've come across is that verbosity and especially many comments by a top-LLM can help smaller, cheaper LLMs process the code... kind of related.

Markus Borg @mrksbrg.bsky.social · 25/10/2025

Wish I had! LLMs tend to be verbose creatures when it comes to NL text. Haven't seen any numbers for code. But verbose or not, we'll see a lot new code. And volume in general is one of the main challenges with code =)
