> Engineers who waste other engineers' time reviewing slop PRs should just be fired. AI is no excuse to start producing bad code. The engineer should still be responsible for the code they ship.

Yeah, this is the unfortunate truth about what's going on here in my opinion. The underlying problem is that some workplaces just have bad culture or processes that don't do enough to prevent (or even actively encourage) being a bad teammate. AI isn't going to solve that, but it's also not really the cause, and at the end of the day, you're going to have problem at a place like that regardless of whether AI is being used or not.

Agreed! I think AI just accelerates existing processes. If existing processes suck, then you'll just get sucky code faster.
That's a super concise way of phrasing it; I might need to steal that in the future...
