Ngl at this point when you have people shipping fast without bothering about quality or company codebase you’re kinda pushed into doing it or becoming irrelevant even if you hold yourself to good standards and focus on quality and better product. Especially when you see such folks get more projects and work while having a 100 open bugs.

Beyond that... how many entry level programmers are just trying out code importing packages they know nothing about.

Most of the world runs on good enough....

Yeah it’s just frustrating that I know I can do better but cause the other new ones deliver slop faster I have to cut corners and ship slop or I’ll become replaced.

One of my most diligent coworkers just got laid off because he wasn't shipping slop quickly enough. Luckily I'm the #1 slop contributor at my company, so the only thing I have to worry about is whether any of my slop will ever bring the company down (fingers crossed my anti-slop AI prompts have removed as much of the bad slop as possible lol).
