Its a bit unkind to talk like this - the obvious and equally unproductive response is to question if you are really as good as you think you are. Are those junior developers not making a mess, or do you lack the insight to see it?

Big codebases tend to become a mess anyway so if your company has experience dealing with shit, the fact that now shit is AI-generated doesn't substantially change anything.

And I'm not joking. Imagine it this way - managing a group of skilled professionals is a completely different skill from managing a bunch of alcoholics doing a minimum-wage job, and sometimes the latter situation is just the reality you find yourself in.

Or perhaps the ones complaining aren’t as good as they think they are at coding, prompting, etc.
