I love how OP doesn't reach the most obvious conclusion that (record scratch, freeze frame) he just landed himself at a trash-tier company.

The only thing LLMs are doing here is surfacing the fact that your company hired really bad talent.

And no, basing your team in Arkansas or Tbilisi or whatever, not doing Leetcode interviews, and pinky-promising you're the Good Guys™ (unlike evil Meta and Google *hmmphh*) doesn't exempt you from the competitive forces of the labor market that drive SWE salaries well into the mid six figures, because tbh most people don't really mind grinding Leetcode, and most people don't really mind moving to the Bay Area, and most people don't really mind driving in to work 5 days a week, and they definitely don't give a shit whether their company's mission is to harvest every newborn's DNA to serve them retina-projected cigarette ads from the age of 10, or if it's singing privacy-respecting kumbaya around the FOSS bonfire.

You only get what you pay for, not a lick more.

LLMs are going to put these shitty companies in a really bad state while the spade-sellers laugh their way to the bank. I predict within 24 months you're going to see at least one company say they're enforcing a total ban on LLM-generated code within their codebase.
