Bad & meh engineers get praised because they “waste” less time directing ai and reviewing output - barely working is good enough in the race to market.
I’ve seen things as serious as a privileged user for one customer having admin access to all customers being discovered during the last minute pentest literally days before the planned product launch. That product is supposed(and likely will) to move 250M USD for customers in the second half of this year. Under the current policy at my day job, coming all the way from the top, reviewing ai generated code at all should be an exception reserved for 0.1% most critical code. Yes, in finance.
Hopefully, those are the sorts of companies that will fail or get sued, so they learn their lesson. Not holding my breath though.
Companies have been doing insane shit for the sake of saving a buck or getting to market fast for decades, it’s nothing new. AI may or may not just make it worse.

Insane stuff.
