   It's always like that: first you make it work then you improve it. Well,   
   a lot of times, the process stops when it works. I don't remember who   
   said that code is not finish when there is nothing more to add but when   
   there is nothing more to remove.   
      
   That's why it's stupid to consider the best programmer as the one who   
   produce more lines of code than others.   
      
   And, from what I saw, actually, the AI produce a lot of code which must   
   be removed.
