I don't view this as a bad thing or at least not in many contexts, in many orgs, risk is actively pushed downward. Vibe coded PR slop is poor hiring/culture blowback.
It is an amusing inversion of the situation in which higher level decisions by seniors/exec are made that then have to be implemented by lower levels in the org; with those lower levels having to smooth and mitigate the risks and negative consequences of aforementioned higher level decisions.
