If AI coding is lowering your code quality, you're not managing quality right

Of course, it's your fault, not LLMs not being able to write good code and destroying whole codebases in a matter of weeks.

  Is your llm force pushing to main? If so, why are you allowing that?
  No LLM will destroy any code base in any time frame without permission from an human operator. That person is responsible for allowing the code base being destroyed.

    It's not.
    My manager expects stuff to be done 10 times quicker than 2 years ago, and that can't happen if I spend time understanding and fixing all code being pushed. At that point I might as well write it myself.

    That’s a you problem, not the AI. Stand up to your manager and explain to them how the situation is their fault. Or take responsibility for your complicity from not quitting. But don’t blame the AI for process failures that it did not impose on you.
