    I threw together a slop project to test something. It put in some JSON for something that didn’t use that. I told it it was just some plain text. It took the JSON library out again. Then I added in something that does use JSON and it tried to make a basic JSON parsing library from scratch.

    It’s like a very junior programmer at times, with amnesia.

    It does make some menial tasks simpler, but if people think it will actually replace us then they’re in for a shock.

      That’s the sales pitch, we’re in a job market drought right now. Give it a year or two and all the slop will begin breaking, making a new job market boom for developers

          Would be kinda cool if we could get People Who Know What They’re Doing™ to just…rebuild stuff from the ground up, untainted by slop. Haha a guy can dream.
