My perspective as an eng lead is it’s all shit. Words, code, the lot. It’s literally an enabler for the worst characteristics of humanity: laziness and disinterested incompetence.

People are happy to shovel shit if they can get away with it.

Same here.

In addition, I feel like there has been an overall drop in software quality along with the rise of AI driven code development. Perhaps there are other driving factors (socioeconomic, psychological, etc) and perhaps I am misattributing it to AI. Then again, could also just be all the slop.

I would agree. The stuff that hasn’t been updated in the last 3-4 years seems to be pretty solid still. Almost nothing else is.
