I interviewed the team behind this. Full disclosure, I run the site. Happy to answer questions about the methodology, and the numbers here are theirs and labeled self-reported in the piece.
"Code is a liability" is the part that usually gets hand-waved, and there's a number on it now. Veracode's 2025 GenAI report ran 80 tasks across 100+ models: when a task could be solved securely or insecurely, the models picked the insecure path 45% of the time, at roughly 2.7x the vulnerability density of human-written code (Java was worst, at a 72% failure rate).
So the mediocre-dev case may be worse than "10x more mediocre code." It's more code that also skews insecure by default, and that cost shows up downstream in review and incidents, not at the PR. Throughput goes up, and so does the liability per line.

While it’s possible that selfishness is involved in some way, reducing it to selfishness alone is unnecessarily judgmental. Examining the source of that selfishness would be more helpful for someone like OP who wants to understand/change.
Selfishness can come from many places. The need for self preservation is not inherently bad or wrong. But when it surfaces in a context like this, it provides an opportunity for someone like the OP to understand themselves better. We’re not competing for the last scrap of food, and so these instincts don’t always serve us well.
I grew up in a traumatic environment. My self preservation instincts are highly attuned. This led to some default behaviors that some would label selfish. I’m now one of the most helpful people I know, as shared by those around me and I find great satisfaction in it.
This didn’t come naturally, and I had to cultivate the mindset. I wasn’t selfish because I didn’t want to help people, I was selfish because I was afraid of my own failure and the perceived ramifications of that failure (ultimately: loss of income and starvation).
I eventually learned that being helpful can be one the most self preserving things I can do, because it helped me built a support system that now stands strong.
Selfishness is a symptom, not necessarily the cause. It’s worth examining, but saying “stop being selfish” could be as useful as saying “stop being depressed” if the source is something deeper.
