This strikes me as a very solid methodology for improving the results of all AI coding tools. I hope Anthropic, etc take this up.

Rather than converging on optimal code (Occam's Razor for both maintainability and performance) they are just spewing code all over the scene. I've noticed that myself, of course, but this technique helps to magnify and highlight the problem areas.

It makes you wonder how much training material was/is available for code optimization relative to training material for just coding to meet functional requirements. And therefore, what's the relative weight of optimizing code baked into the LLMs.
