That's what I had in mind! The whole post is a claim that evaluating knowledge work got more expensive because cheaper measures stopped correlating well with quality.

If someone was already evaluating the work output using a metric closer to the underlying quality then it might not have been a big shift for them (other than having much more work to evaluate).

You may have benefited from using the term we already had for the cheaper measures of negative code quality: code smells.

I find misapplication of anti-smell techniques a pretty cheap indicator that I’m looking at LLM garbage. I think they’re not really usefully engaging with that stuff yet.
