I was trying to go against the tide for the longest time by providing detailed reviews, understanding every line of code, leave meaningful comments, improve architecture, etc.. Then management started pushing AI more and more and explicitly called out PR reviews as a bottleneck, timelines shortened, and more and more slop got pushed.
I gave up and I'm now a happy "AI enthusiast" at my company, handing out AI slop reviews for AI slop PRs. Deep down, I don't care anymore, if that's what they want, that's what they'll get, and it's no longer my problem if stuff leaks through that brings down prod or worse. Oh, and I'm also in line for a promotion this coming quarter thanks to my new found "velocity".

I tried that too, until I realized the people I was supposed to mentor take my comment, feed it to the LLM, and let it make the fix.
And in the meantime they learned nothing.
