okay so this is gonna sound ironic. maybe even a little embarrassing.
Most of us — and yes, I'm including myself here — use AI tools to write code...

Exactly. The critic has changed from a pedantic senior dev at a 10 AM code review to a confidently incorrect AI model hallucinating dependencies at 3 AM. The rules of Clean Code are exactly the same, but the feedback loop is terrifyingly faster now.
100% Tahir. A huge context window is just a larger bucket; if you fill it with muddy water, you still get mud. Attention mechanisms degrade when forced to parse massive, deeply nested spaghetti functions. 'Lost in the middle' is a very real problem for codebases.
I've experienced this with AI coding tools as well.
When the project structure is clean, AI can navigate, debug, and refactor surprisingly well.
When files become large, inconsistent, and tightly coupled, even the best models start making incorrect assumptions.
Good architecture is becoming an AI productivity multiplier.
