@jo@infosec.exchange @tante@tldr.nettime.org I use slop to describe generated code that has not been reviewed at reasonable level and has not had other methods in use to validate code quality independently of the primary generation task, it has nothing to do with quality except as indirect consequence.
You probably count me as AI bro or whatever, while I do accept much of the criticism at some level.

@ethorsoe@sauna.social @jo@infosec.exchange @tante@tldr.nettime.org Frankly, given that AI makes much different mistakes than human coders and that reviewing code is a substantial piece of work, I just don't believe that software engineering can get more effective with AI --- just more sloppy, when the review work falls under the table (or the deadline).
