Previously, the limit on bad code entering any serious product was gated by having devs that at least knew how to change what they copied from SO.

Seriously, that was the lowest level of skill I saw in 30 years of development.

Now we have people who can't even do that proudly showing off PRs to widely used products.

"B-b-but I do the systems design and hard thinking".

Sure, buddy.

At least once a week I have to drop what I'm doing and race in to stop the non dev manager from merging a fully vibe coded patch which will blow up production. Claude Code has made this guy a negative 10x developer.
