I don't fully agree this optimistic view. Unfortunately, for now, coding agents produce code that, if not further optimized upon "human" request, often generates more complexity than necessary.
It's true that this requires more computational effort for the agents themselves to debug or modify it, but it's also true that the computational cost is negligible compared to the benefit of having features working quickly.
In other words: agents quickly generate hyper-complex and unoptimized code. And the speed of delivery provides more immediate benefits than the costs resulting from bad code.
On the other hand, it's also true that the "careful eye" of an experienced developer can optimize and improve the output in a few simple iterations.
So overall (and unfortunately) the "bad code", if it immediately works, can wins against (or with) a good code.
