I see increasing amounts of code merged to the codebase that is sometimes wrong, sometimes too brittle, sometimes fixes the symptom without addressing the bug. Two years ago the same code would be criticized harshly and reworked before being accepted.

Also, now people who used to manage the development but not write any code also feel their superpowers to merge LLM slop in humongous amounts. It feels like a ticking time bomb, but I am afraid of calling it out and rain on their parade of 10x productivity (or often AI psychosis). Leaving the team doesn't feel like a good decision because what I hear from many colleagues is much worse. Ah what a time to be alive...
