How do you deal with a team of vibe coders?

Career Advice

This entire team of overseas devs literally uses Gen AI for the eveeything, I mean everything, the Jira tasks are generated, then they're copy and pasted into co-pilot, I don't even think it's reviewed before they make a pull request, for me to review. They can't even explain in the morning meetings what changes they made. The last dev tried to push 15 Jira tasks into one branch for me to review today. Of course it was all broken.

Then the management team is pressing for Sprint every day, they're blindly closing out tasks without even reviewing them, this is just progressively getting more and more ridiculous.

The dev build hasn't been worked for a week now, every page has errors on it.

Is this the norm for web development now?

Do I call them out on it? Do I just watch how about it's going to get? I don't want to become a lead developer and be responsible for everything. I didn't even interview for this role, I interviewed to be a C++ developer but they moved me through this team 🫪 it was easy enough at the beginning but the lead devs quit and they just hired a bunch of vibe coders. And since it's a consulting business, and I'm not on a work visa, I'll probably just get reassigned to another team later and it will be more of the same fuckery

I come from robotics background, and when someone does s*** like this it cost a company a ton of money. But I guess since web development doesn't matter if it's broken or not until it does
