I imagine if you have a say in their performance review, you might be able to set "writes code more thoughtfully" as a PIP?

No, because that's not measurable

It's measurable in the number of times you have to spend >x minutes to help them go through something they should have written up by themselves. You can count the number of times you have to look at something and tell them "do it again, but without LLM this time". At some point you fire them.

That’s not measurable either. Your opinion on someone is not data.

My opinion on someone is how I decide whether I want to work with them and help them grow or fire them/wait for them to fail on their own merit (if somebody else is in charge of hiring/firing).
