PITA or senior developer that's too senior for that company? Honestly I think an organization has no say in discussions about testing or descriptive PRs, and on the other side, a decent developer does not defer to someone higher-up to decide on the quality of their work.

Some managers will do anything for velocity, even if the direction is towards a cliff with with sharp rocks below. You try to produce quality work and others are doing tornado programming all over the codebase and be praised for it.

The industry does not care what engineers think because engineers have no power at all. We will not be able to hold any line against a management class that has been assured that AI tooling doubles engineer productivity and have zero ability to judge that claim, because they've never built anything and run into the exact problems that AI tools cause; A lack of understanding. They don't even know what they don't know.

If you wanted software engineers to be able to hold any sort of quality line against a few trillion dollars worth of AI investment, we needed to unionize or even form a guild twenty years ago.
