I asked my gemini-sysadminhelper to assess the migration path for me today for a very old FOSS tool I need to swap out to get modern OAUTH2. Instead, it hot-patched the source to handle OAUTH2 because that's easier than migrating. I now wonder whether my tech-debt problem will improve because the agent can autonomously handle step-upgrades and I won't accrue the tech debt, or whether it will worsen because to the agent it's just as easy to refactor and hot-patch as it is to apply updates.
