Open source? Close it and ask them resubmit a smaller one and justify the complexity of things like a DSL if they wanted it included.
For work? Close it and remind them that their AI velocity doesn't save the company time if it takes me many hours (or even days depending on the complexity of the 9k lines) to review something intended to be merged into an important service. Ask them to resubmit a smaller one and justify the complexity of things like a DSL if they wanted it included. If my boss forces me to review it, then I do so and start quietly applying for new jobs where my job isn't to spend 10x (or 100x) more time reviewing code than my coworkers did "writing" it.
- krackers 1y ago> then I do so and start quietly applying In this job market? And where pretty much every company seems to be following the top-down push for AI-driven "velocity"?
- nextlevelwizard 1y agoWhen you are applying from a job you are more desirable and you aren't desperate so you can take your pick. If your current job is bad then you can't really lose much. Otherwise you need to be the person at the company who cuts through the bullshit and saves it from when the VibeCodeTechDebt is popping the industry.
- viccis 1y agoThat's why I would start applying instead of just quitting. There are plenty of companies that use AI responsibly or not much at all.
- xeonmc 1y agoThis is why we need a programmer union, so that coders can collectively reject reverse-centaur slopwork, like miners rejecting asbestos mines or workers refusing to fix dangerous machines while it’s running.
- immibis 1y agoAre AI slop reviews threatening to your life?
- zwnow 1y agoAI generated code is threatening the whole tech industry while also threatening to hurt tons of users, because people that have no business in building and deploying apps suddenly feel like they can. That Tea app was a good example for that, endangering thousands of women by leaking private conversations and address data. If AI slop infiltrates projects enterprises are built upon, its likely companies and their customers are metaphorically hurt too, because of a spike in outages etc... (which already happens given AWS got like 7000 outage reports after getting rid of another 14000 employees). Yes AI can be cool, but can we stop being this blind regarding its limitations, usecases, how its actually used, how it actually benefits humanity, and so on? Like give me a valid reason for Sora existing (except for monetizing attentionspans of humans, which I consider highly unethical).
- immibis 1y agoOkay, can you avoid comparing a company going bankrupt because of a bad bet on AI, to a person getting mangled and crushed into a cube inside of an industrial machine?
- zwnow 1y agoWhere did I compare that? Getting hurt has variations. Your privacy can be hurt, your physique can be hurt, your emotions can be hurt.
- kanwisher 1y agoFunny the app that was made to destroy other peoples lives with anonymous tips that could be fake, hurt the real perpetrators. Almost like it was karma

- zwnow 1y agoThe market only sucks for devs that lack experience or have a skillset thats oversaturated. If you only know React and Python I'm sorry, but there are like 20 million devs just like you so the one thats willing to work for the smallest coin is going to win.
- oarsinsync 1y ago> If my boss forces me to review it, then I do so and start quietly applying for new jobs where my job isn't to spend 10x (or 100x) more time reviewing code than my coworkers did "writing" it. Another equally correct approach (given the circumstances of the organisation) is to get a different AISlopBot to do the review for you, so that you spend as much time reviewing as the person who submitted the PR did coding.
- ffsm8 1y agoThat only works if you're not personally responsible for the code you review, too.
- throwup238 1y agoJust don’t give the AI agent an “approve_pr” tool. It can only comment or reject.
- kortilla 1y agoBut then what? At the end it’s still on you to approve and you have no idea what is hiding in the code.
- jjcob 1y agoYou don't approve it. You just slowly grind the submitter down with minor feedback. At some point they lose interest and after a year you can close the PR, or ask the submitter to open a new PR.
