I'm Fucking Done with Slop

Daily reminder not build your entire personality around software and other gimmicky hobbies/jobs

Not sure I follow - the great thing about open source is that you can just fork it and use an old version forever, if that's what you want. Open source projects evolve the same way closed projects do - users come up with ideas and contribute, propose things they think are cool, etc.

This website hurts my eyes to read and the writing style is grating, not claude-level grating but I don't care for it. > And the fucking disrespect from the developers overhwelms me. The amount of entitlement in this typo'd sentence [0] is staggering. Developers who are spending their time/energy/money making software you get for _free_ are disrespecting you, the user, by developing the software however they see fit? Get off your high horse. If you don't like it, fork it. Stop complaining about other people's free work. These anti-LLM stances are so incredibly cringe and boring. [0] PS: Not proof reading or spell checking just makes you look incompetent. Much like the rest of the author's stance, they seem to prefer to live in ignorance rather than utilize the technology available to them.

Good, because the slop era is over. LLMs can now deliver software of consistently better quality than humans can, much faster, and are more thorough in hunting down bugs and considering corner cases to boot.

I wish they had made this rant focusing on their ethical disagreements with AI-generated coding. Defining any software made/with as “slop” is silly to me. Say you hate AI and won’t use it on principle, don’t try to make it sound like AI can only be used to make low quality products, because that’s objectively wrong.
