We will keep your code on file…
You know it’s bad when AI slop is calling out your human slop.
I know this is probably a joke, but they must be doing this. Even if the AI isn’t making this discussion, they must be trying to separate good engineers from AI bros that only ever knew how to vibe code.
That could easily be like 90% of my current and previous coworkers.
The worst programmer I ever met was myself 6 months ago…
Progressing is cool, but having 10 yoe and still outputing spaghetti is bad. I am just saying if you care enough about what you are doing you are top 10% already
the quality of the code is dependent on the quality of the pay. lol
And as others have noted, how much time you are actually given. PMs and managers don’t know or care about code quality, they just want something to work NOW
My newest one is as impulsive as I am so the digressions he tasks me with have stalled out long term development plans, yet he’s oblivious enough of the situation to seriously ask why progress is taking so long every year during reviews.
