alt Hacker NewsThis was always due to pressures by management and the company environment, not the workers themselves. It's hard to blame the people writing code when they have to deal with nontechnical leadership that wants to have a feature factory or never given appropriate resources to solve problems.
Blaming workers is always an excuse by poor management.

Many people were and still are simply terrible developers.
Hand those people an LLM and they don’t suddenly become competent, but they do start slinging more code.

The pressures from management and the company environment are not always a bad thing. It really depends on whether the pressures are coming from a logical business perspective or whether they are just coming from stupidity or ignorance. In a business environment, taking a long time to ship great code can mean that the company goes out of business, and then the software developers have a lot of great code and no income.
