As a programmer myself I haven’t found that to be my experience. For every programmer I know that embraces generative AI tools, I know at least 1 or 2 who are critical of them, be it for ethical reasons or technical reasons. I’m not seeing a huge increase in productivity or quality patches either… But then again I’m probably in that camp of anti-corporate FOSS-loving indie millennials…
Regardless… whether it’s common practice or not doesn’t change the point that piracy is a whole lot easier to morally justify when developers and publishers are creating things an in unethical and exploitative way.
Publishers lose whatever ethical high ground they may have had to wring their hands about piracy when they are leveraging other people’s stolen labor.
As an intern at my office, it was genuinely a perplexing experience for me to see team leads just vibe code production software. Glad it’s not the case where you are.
