Maybe it's just semantics, but it doesn't feel so wrong to me. The main nuance is that this statement needs to be true over time as the spec changes. Developers try to write maintainable code so that their code will still work/adapt to spec when the spec changes. Maintainable code feels less important in a world where AI can rewrite a growing portion of your code quickly. I find myself accepting a much lower bar for non-critical parts of my projects with the knowledge that claude can rewrite it quickly if needs change. But disclaimer: I haven't yet used this technique in teams. The norms on usage aren't there yet.
