Most people don't care. Leadership is demanding feature, feature, feature. IC are worried about losing their jobs and outages rarely cost most business actual money. So garbage gets shipped, outages rise, everyone is burned out but since they can't find another job, they remain.
In this situation, you raise the issue with management, with a paper trail that Cover Your Ass, that the pace is unsustainable and bugs will continue to accumulate faster than it can be fixed. Make sure that you are not responsible for it and ensure this is known by all (including management).
You then continue to vibe code as instructed by management. No burnout because you are not responsible anymore.
People still get burnout if not from constant pages, the late nights and worry about their job.
