> But when you have to scale the work, then the code has to be easy to read, easy to extend, easy to test, have extensive test coverage, have proper dependency injection / be easy to mock the 3rd party dependencies, be easy to configure so it can be deployed in every cloud provider

the code doesn't have to be anything like that, it only has to do one thing and one thing only: ship

But in a world of subscription based services, it has to ship more than once. And as soon as that's a requirement, all of the above applies, and the LLM model breaks down.
If and only if it's a one-off. I already addressed this in my comment that you are replying to, and you and several others happily ignored it. Really no idea why.
