The trick is to not give a fuck. This works great in a lot of apps, which are useless to begin with. It may also be a reasonable strategy in an early-stage startup yet to achieve product-market fit, but your plan has to be to scrap it and rewrite it and we all know how that usually turns out.

This is an excellent point. Sure in an ideal world we should care very much about every line of code committed, but in the real world pushing garbage might be a valid compromise given things like crunch, sales pitches due tomorrow etc.

		No, that's a much stronger statement. I'm not talking about ideals. I'm talking about running a business that is mature, growing and going to be around in five years. You could literally kill such a business running it on a pile of AI slop that becomes unmaintainable.
