Your expectations do not match the employment market as I have ever experienced it.

Have you ever worked anywhere that said "go ahead and slow down on delivering product features that drive business value so you can audit the code of your dependencies, that's fine, we'll wait"?

I haven't.

Yea, and that’s the problem. If such absolute rock bottom minimal expectations (know what the code does) are seen as too slow and onerous, the industry is cooked!

Yeah, about that, businesses are pushing and introducing code written by AI/LLM now, so now you won't even know what your own code does.
