    Ah, the "skill issue" argument again. Same crap aswhen everyonewas worshiping Musk 5-6 years ago, this time it's dario and altman with a claude/chatgpt mask. Crash can't come soon enough.

      I think the point is just it doesn’t have to get worse, so there are things you can do to prevent / change it if it is deteriorating.

        Yes, but it doesn't matter if nobody actually does that. Either because

        1. they don't care

        2. the rest of the team doesn't care

        3. the powers that be actively discourage it because velocity.

          That's a fair point. I guess step 0 is that you have to care about code/product quality and prioritize it.
