> The moment code gets written and read back, the decisions made are often treated as gospel by frontier LLMs, even if it was just something that the LLM optimistically created itself.

In my experience, it's even worse than that: the LLMs constantly assume that all existing code was created entirely by me.

They generate code, then suddenly start talking about that exact same code as if I had manually and deliberately written all of it. They assume every single technical decision was made by me. They don't just treat it as gospel, they assume it's my gospel.

It's surreal.
