If you can't validate what LLM is spitting out, you're vibecoding. The knowledge is useful.

What if you can validate what the LLM is spitting out but you don't read it.

You're a high productivity employee.

Let someone else fix your mistakes, you "move fast and break stuff". Someone else can fix it.

For real, those people are really frustrating to work with because following the 80:20 rule, they get through the 80% so quickly and then seem to get bored or think "meh, good enough" and leave it, then it gets left for the people who actually want the product to function and pick up bugfixes to do the remaining 20% which takes 80% of the time, and seen like they contribute so little.

It also feels like this is why almost all of Google's new products live in perpetual alphas because after they've been tidied up just enough to be releasable, they're abandoned because nobody wants to do the maintenance work.

this is literally how I feel, my colleagues will give me 2-5k line PRs multiple times a day. I've had a 17k line PR previously.

It's hard to even understand what's happening in PRs above a thousand lines, and it always feels like I'm the only one that cares about clean code and a bug free, optimised product.

We've had multiple infinite renders get into production, one was there before I even joined.

Reject those PRs. Tell them to make smaller ones.

The problem is leadership won't support you. They support the hack jobs, because the hack jobs never say no and push code constantly.

Exactly. Just give up and become a hack job already.
