If you’re getting spaghetti it’s a skill issue.
If you vibe code, sure you’ll get slop. Ask it to do something to get X result, you’re leaving it room to think so you get slop. Tell it exactly what logic you want it to use, step by step like it’s a child, then you get the same you’d do yourself but faster.
Look at the PRs for quality-critical projects like the linux kernel and I guarantee you coudn’t tell which PR has some AI and which does not.
