People who have never coded anything complex with AI just don't get development, and they always react defensively to the topic by calling it "slop."
Yeah, you can throw together some slop in three h...
Very true:
> even without AI, a whole bunch of slop gets developed out there. Especially in companies where you have deadlines. You have no idea, how much BS they create under pressure. Accumulating technical debt for decades
My 'engineering' colleagues aren't good and are badly led. They can't deliver anything with quality above a certain level of complexity. AI simply means they get to their crappy solution sooner rather than later. It doesn't help them step up to a better level of quality.
But the people who actually are good engineers, who understand everything you discuss, are being supercharged by AI if they are careful to understand its strengths and weaknesses
