I don't give code quality a consideration at my job, as that is the expectation. I'm on-paper delivering more projects and "more productive".

I also don't think this is the right way. We are giving away practices and lesson learned over decades, in just over 6 months without fully understanding long term implications both technical and non-technical. And that is based on very optimistic bet that models will be able to handle all those potential issues that we might be concerned about in present. All the arguments/counter-arguments are mostly speculative, and I think only time will tell. My speculation is that this all BS will at some point self-correct at some point, it wont be like pre-LLM but it wont be crazy vibe-code don't look at code (or pretend we review code) either.

That's a big problem I think. We should use those tools to improve applying our practices. Along the way we might figure out that we can and should do things differently. But just throwing everything away, hoping for the best, does sound like a recipe for disaster.
