alt Hacker News> What's really happening is that a few employees realized they can game the system by turning on a firehose of AI slop and pushing 10x the LOC than any other engineer (with or without AI)
Did they figure out how to game the system? Or was the system set up exactly with incitaments to produce exactly this outcome?

The new system is immature and hence open to exploitation. This is eventually going to destroy some companies.
They figured out how. Mind you the system was setup with incentives to produce this outcome - but before AI it wasn't really realistic to produce all those lines of code even though you could and so nobody was gaming it so badly it broke. (it was always broke, but the breakage was acceptable before)
