Increasingly hearing about PhD students graduating with 10+ publications. Very happy for them but publication inflation is spiraling out of control. No way a 'trainee' should be publishing at this volume and speed. Recipe for disaster - we need to slow down in science!

I agree. One of the reasons PIs often prefer prolific ECRs (especially 1st authored ones) is not b/c the science is good (on the contrary, over production is often associated w/ salami slicing & shallow investigations) but b/c it signals that the ECR is a capable writer.

Even if true, I'm not convinced that "capable writer" trumps "needs to be retained to do science".

Because it's retrained and not trained.
