Also imho, its an unpopular opinion, but calling things "slop" is no better than calling them "woke".

Every time I've asked for specifics when someone calls code "slop", they've never been able to provide any actual technical specific examples too. As devs, we should be better, and stay specific/technical.

If the code is crap and you can point to which code exactly though, fair enough. But lets be specific..

I've even seen 1 or 2 journalists in particular (like Pivot to AI), where they seem to have elevated their popularity substantially (for financial benefit) writing human slop.. But, when I did my research, could find 0 evidence they had provided any code contributions ANYWHERE.
