To be fair having been in software for awhile, plenty of people were slinging slop before AI as well.

The difference is back then, we could block the PR, now management demands velocity at all costs.

It will catch up eventually.

Didn't management always demand velocity at all costs? This is really not new.

In the last few years prior to widespread coding llms (at least at the shops I worked at then) there was an appreciation for reducing incidents and defensive, clean code.

Now the expectation is if the AI causes an outage, the AI will fix it quickly, so code quality doesn't matter and just yeet everything into production.
