alt Hacker NewsLLMs can easily output overwhelming quantities of code. Junior devs couldn't really do that, not consistently.
Scale/quantity matter.
This industry is not mature enough for 1000x the bad code we have now. It was barely hanging on with 1x bad code.

Yeah. Due diligence is exponentially more important with something like Claude because it is so fast. Get lazy for a few hours and you've easily added 20K LOC worth of technical debt to your code base, and short of reverting the commits and starting over, it'll not be easy to get it to fix the problems after the fact.
It's still pretty fast even considering all the coaxing needed, but holy crap will it rapidly deteriorate the quality of a code base if you just let it make changes as it pleases.
It very much feels like how the most vexing enemy of The Flash is like just some random ass banana peel on the road. Raw speed isn't always an asset.
