@nprofile1q...: "What I have a harder time is the argumentation that's used, and quite specifically that agentic coding leads to slop almost by definition. "
Almost? What _is_ the definition os "slop"? There is no objective measurment of code quality, but I'd say "legacy code" is just code that no human cares about enough to understand. By that definition, llm-generated code is already legacy code when produced, and that's a good enough definition of "slop" for me.
