So, did they use AI tools to type "LGTM" 400 times or nah?
But yeah, I also find that frustrating. Management just looks at terrible metrics like PRs closed or lines of code produced.
It's not even novel that you can produce terrible code very quickly. Decades ago, our industry learned that it isn't worth it, because you suffer for it later. Now the game is altered slightly and management demands that we throw all these learnings out the window.
