Yeah, if we could document our actual thought process then we wouldn't struggle to train LLMs what good code actually looks like and we wouldn't have slop anymo

Yeah, if we could document our actual thought process then we wouldn't struggle to train LLMs what good code actually looks like and we wouldn't have slop anymore. Any process that can be documented can be automated and yet we don't have an algorithm to assign a score of how "good", readable, maintainable a codebase is. None that would correlate with human judgement, anyway.
