I would expand this even further and say that the worst problem for people in the trenches isn't even just that this is happening, it's the it creates a situation where managers are held to some expectations (their team shipping product features) that incentivize not looking too carefully at what their team members are putting out. It makes it really hard to tell a boss "we need to stop and spend a few days reviewing and rewriting because one of my teammates likes to one-shot everything with poorly thought out Claude prompts making multithousand line PRs" when their own bosses are breathing down their neck.
It's the same struggle we face to get refactor work prioritized, just at a much more frequent cadence. "It's working so why do we need to spend another sprint on it?"
