My experience is that these kind of devs only survive in big environments e.g. multinational companies. Once they become the mayoriy (or the loudest) then part of the company will match their speed over time and the development time and time itself slows down. Tasks will be measured in weeks instead hours, meetings will be about anything to further the day, deadlines will fly by with everyone pointing to each other.

If there is nothing you can do to remove them the best you can do to ignore them, separate yourself, or them from everyone else. If you care enough you can try to mitigate the damage they may do. If you are surrounded by these type of developers you may want to do what I did: find a job where you can actually learn from others. I recommend small businesses as they cannot afford to have these people.

I've seen them thrive in startups too. The company was incompetent, made millions. Things regularly broke (enterprise!) but the startup was backed by one of the biggest accelerators in the region, CEO hung around a lot of influential groups, media covered them a lot.

They think income is slowing down because of AI, but it's really because they make bad software and are running out of customers.

But it's a very unsexy field and there are no new competitors.
