This is an excellent point. Sure in an ideal world we should care very much about every line of code committed, but in the real world pushing garbage might be a valid compromise given things like crunch, sales pitches due tomorrow etc.

No, that's a much stronger statement. I'm not talking about ideals. I'm talking about running a business that is mature, growing and going to be around in five years. You could literally kill such a business running it on a pile of AI slop that becomes unmaintainable.
