  1. Reviewing slop code is boring as fuck and strips any joy out of the work
  2. Nobody reviews slop code
  3. Slop code is produced by the most insufferable talentless hacks ever who cant take a crumb of feedback

All its going to do is burn out the maintainers and theyre gonna quit. Same as is happening in any corporate job where knowledgeable seniors are being pushes out by naive juniors and all ai code is implicitly trusted. All work is produced by prompt monkeys who pray it doesnt break and like all programming decisions the consequences won’t be seen until a few years down the line

    realistically, what is to be done? i can't stand the idea the communities should roll over and die

    I don't think there's a lot that can be done other than holding to our principals and hoping that the AI bubble crash eliminates all of this by causing the technology to become too prohibitively expensive to use.

    Both Chinese and American vendors have brought down the costs of running models by so much. I really don't think hoping for this to pass is a viable strategy.

    The prices for using something like DeepSeek V4 flash is already pretty trivial. I don't know much prices are subsidized.

    I think there is a lot of potential for the tooling to get better. Difficult to say how much the models can improve. There is definitely also a lot of willingness to accept worse results.
