The camps framing misses something. After 15 years writing code I've found the people who ship the best products understand both sides. You need to care about craft enough to know when AI output is garbage, and you need to care about shipping enough to not gold-plate things that don't matter.

The slop problem isn't AI, it's people who can't tell the difference between good and bad output because they never developed the craft in the first place. AI just makes that gap more visible.
