When was code quality ever a concern?

I remember the "software craftsmanship" movement of the early and late oughts. Refactoring patterns, clean architecture and all that--nobody outside a tiny group gave a single sh*t about it.

I feel that before LLMs I could smuggle quality code in, without the managers knowing. Now, I cannot -- I'm visibly too slow if I'm trying to.
