Some food is mass-produced in factories.

It tastes bad, and poisons you slowly.

Some (less) food is produced on farms and kitchens.

It tastes good, and keeps you healthy.

I don't really care who/what wrote the code. I don't even really care about the code at all. What I care about is the end product.

The problem is not "code quality" the problem is that billionaire sociopaths have removed human judgement (and human morality) from the dev loop. This started long before AI.

Coders are hyperfocused on style and missing the substance. We are entering a world where rich bastards can produce evil software without any checks whatsoever.

At least when humans were required to write the code, they had to find and retain unscrupulous humans. Now they're completely unfettered, and we're soon going to learn the precise shape of the digital prisons they're constructing.
