Unfortunately, "lots of crap that's so badly broken most of the time" already describes a lot of software these days, and yet there hasn't been much pushback. Everyone seems to be mostly in a state of learned helplessness.

There is pushback, it's just not broad enough yet. Because, as broken as things are (which is especially visible to those of us making the sausage or watching it made), they still kinda sorta work most of the time, to the point where users grumble but learn to live with it.

But I think that AI coding will upset this equilibrium by reducing the quality even more, and significantly enough that users will very much notice - and for many of them it will push things into "what I need doesn't work most of the time" category. And then there will be payback.

Then again, I am an optimist.
