tbf many human devs I've worked with don't think about n+1 and similar issues and need constant reminders.

overall software quality seems largely unchanged

>tbf many human devs I've worked with don't...

OTOH, if someone insists on writing bad code—even after being advised otherwise—then they should expect to be out of a job.

Doesn't seem like "terminated junior developer" is the level of quality we should be accepting or promoting for AI.

that doesn't actually happen though. If you fired every dev with sloppy code you wouldn't be left with much.

You previously asserted that devs repeatedly ignored specific code quality instructions, which is clearly a fireable offense. You're now generalizing out to a vague concept of "sloppy code", which is not even quantifiable.

In any case, the point is that low quality code shouldn't be promoted as the acceptable goal for AI.
