Re-read my post before quoting it and getting defensive. I'm not anti-AI, I use Claude daily, partly because that's all the industry is now, partly because it can be an amazing tool.

I'm furious about slop-shovelling profit-driven development that actively causes harm to people. And the lack of care for, or outright disdain of customers, specifically fuelled by a misuse of AI, and the people telling me to get used to this, the people telling me to stop reading my own PRs, the people telling me this is just how it is now. When we all know that isn't true.

Just bide your time until there are some absolutely catastrophic breaches like what is happening in Japan right now on a daily basis, and then people and legislators will slowly start demanding accountability.

I just don't see any grassroots movement advocating for responsible software development winning out with a demographic that can't even unionize for their own self benefit.

Yeah, makes sense.

Only counterpoint is we have very well functioning unions in Norway for engineers.

But yeah, I don't see grassroots movements winning anywhere. Not even here.
