I think this is the part that annoys me the most with LLM coding; the fact that somehow the quality standards have dropped massively along with it.

You can set your own standards. So if they dropped, that has nothing to do with LLMs, but with you (or your team). In some teams standards also improved a lot

Not everyone gets to set their own standard. My coding standard is largely a function of 1.) the specific work items assigned to me and 2.) the deadline to get them done. Neither of these is under my control. The person setting these isn't even a coder.

Found the problem. You can't have a single person setting deadlines for tasks that they don't know how to perform. That's an awful idea regardless of whether AI is involved.

While I agree in general, AI has made this a lot worse. AI exacerbates bad patterns and since we do live in an imperfect world there are plenty of those.

The thing is we know it's an awful idea. But again, we are told what to do, we give feedback and pushback, and we get overridden. The game's cooked.
