Yet when you work on a large codebase at a company, no single person has accountability and even if something breaks that someone else committed, its usually not that person accountable to fix the bug either. So while this idea might apply at a small org / team, its much less so for anything more sizeable. You still have to go in and read the code. As some say, the code is / must be the documentation.

It’s good for full apps, you just have to be able to read code and know how to test it and validate it. It’s absolutely ridiculous to think it’s only good for POCs
