You are trying to establish that it is bad based on your beliefs.
I've pointed out to you that LLMs are forced onto people. I fear you are out of touch with the job market requirements of 2026.
- gspr 4mo agoHuh? You can accept things that are forced onto you, due to needing to earn a living, while still acknowledging that the things that are forced onto you are bad. All I'm trying to say here is that slopcode is generally a bad idea. If you are forced to slopcode to earn a living, I am not saying you shouldn't do that ("be a purist", as you'd put it). I'm just trying to point out that HN doesn't seem to generally acknowledge that concept as being bad.
- sscaryterry 4mo agoI think it is much too early to outright say it is bad. Very few things are trivial enough to classify in a binary way as in bad or good. Slop is not okay, this isn't disputed. When you say "If you are forced to slopcode" you are implying that LLMs (or humans who operate the tools) can only produce slop with it.

- sscaryterry 4mo agoFair enough. Honestly, nobody is "forced" to slopcode, this is the human's decision, no?

- sscaryterry 4mo ago!Purist != Slopper Just because you are forced to use an LLM, does not mean you can only produce slop.
- gspr 4mo agoOf course. What's your point?
