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

    You can have all the measures in place that are described in that post, and your code can still be bad. High unit test coverage tells you exactly zero about the solution itself.

    And technical quality gates do not help if the human side lacks defense against slop code. If you don't have the right managers in place, the 2 years of experience vibecoder who ships a feature in 4 hours will always win against the 20+ year senior who actually looks at the code he is about to ship.
