    This is all caused because no-one understands the purpose of quality in software

    Low quality = cascading bugs, issues, slow to iterate and add or change features

    This is just as true for human written as it is for AI

    Instead we have everyone giving up on code quality as if it was just "beautiful code" perfectly indented that was only there for people to ooh and aah at

      Low quality = you will sooner or later be writing a "We take security seriously" letter and buying credit monitoring for all your customers.

        That is the one of the larger issues with poor quality. However even if there are no security issues poor quality can make your customers mad enough to go elsewhere and badmouth you to others looking at your product.
