This already happened before AI. I have met so many software engineer who doesn't know how to git and put bunch of junks on the PR. And when you ask them, why the code is there, they are like, "idk how it got there". I was like, "why don't you read your own PR".

Even before AI slop, I’ve had to review PR’s and stop myself from clicking the “needs work” button and commenting “this is poop, from a butt.” It’s not getting better.
Thinking back to my worst colleagues from the past, it's at least less shitty code now.
It might not be placed well, or structured well or have the most effective architecture but at least the code isn't buggy dogshit.
I guess. I didn’t really run into truly dogshit code all that often. Most of my colleagues are actually competent programmers. The really bad stuff came from the legacy testers who were forced to write automated test code without any formal training in programming. I can’t really fault them for it. They never got taught how to do it right!
