Are the tokens to write out design documentation and lots of comments too expensive or something? I’m trying to figure out how an LLM will even understand what they wrote when they come back to it, let alone a human.

You have to reify mental maps if you have LLM do significant amounts of coding, there really isn’t any other option here.
