I think there will still be room for "debugging AI slop-code" and "performance-turning AI slop-code" and "cranking up the strictness of the linter (or type-checker for dynamically-typed languages) to chase out silly bugs" , not to mention the need for better languages / runtime that give better guarantees about correctness. It's the front-end of the hype cycle. The tech-debt problems will come home to roost in a year or two.

  Congrats, you’ve been promoted to be the cost center. And sloppers will get to the top by cranking out features you will need to maintain.

      Just wait till 'slopper' starts getting classified as a slur

        "Slopper" maybe not, but "slophead"...

      That's sloppy programming. You are promoted.

    A pre-existing problem, but it's true LLMs will make it worse.

  You work in the slop mines now.
