Disagree, the rate at which shit can be generated has vastly increased, and the review burden is on strong engineers to identify it within the slop, because the weak ones are churning it out and management see reviews as unnecessary friction.

IMO the number one decider of how you see AI is if you think lines of code are an asset or a liability. Non-software engineers think more code = more features = more value always. Good engineers know that less code means less opportunity for errors, less mental load, and easier maintianence.
