Fauxgramming
You just know most people would pronounce it "foxgramming" and not get it.
Slop coding.
Code Vomit.
This is just so fitting.
I keep getting merge requests now from people that their whole job to date had been too scared by the syntax to try coding.
It's almost always a shotgun of way too many lines of code changed for a small thing, often with horrible side effects that would be unacceptable.
Someone wanted to tweak the CSS layout of one element, what should have been a one line change. The pull request had hundreds of css changes, basically touching everything. Clearly the model had started changing things and he kept saying it didn't do it yet until finally it did and it never rolled back anything it did, including many of the rules being repeated 5 times in a row in the same place..
They felt like AI was making them so helpful because they could submit a code change directly instead of just asking for what they want. They proudly said "AI told me:" and then explain the brilliance of the AI finding. One time the AI finding was addressed over 6 months prior, the AI never thought to update the software, but instead proposed a really crap workaround that would have failed to cover a whole class of similar scenarios while simultaneously imposing crazy side effects on scenarios that weren't tested.
I can use AI too, please just send me what you would have sent to the AI, and if AI can do it, I could use the AI. If you think the AI will figure out how you are using something wrong and don't want to bother/wait for a human to help, fine, but if it gets to what it thinks is a software bug, just rewind and start from your problem statement when you come to me...

Doesn't roll off the tongue as well, though.
"Slopping"

fuckin' Clown Code.
isn't vibe coding a term that comes from the ai bros themselves first? We would've used slop coding lol
Slopspreading
Cuck coding.
Who gives a flying fuck what terms one asshole is sick of? Fuck him, fuck vibe coding and trying to enforce language that appeals to what "elite" dipshits like.
I read all the way to "is beginning to annoy him." and immediately stopped giving a fuck.
"Call it what you like, you're still going to need us" Code.
It's just really high level BASIC with much looser syntax. It doesn't mean my boss could use it, any more than they could use the "no code" rubbish, BASIC, C, Fortran or Assembly that came before it.
If your job was taking really detailed technical specifications and turning it into something a computer can read, then you might be in trouble. But my job was always deciphering the nonsense amalgamations of customers, sales people, and managers, figuring out what the actual requirement is, determine the simplest thing that could handle that, and write it in such a way that the inevitable changes that they request won't be too painful to add.
Oh no, yet another slop marketeer (CxO, whatever) is unhappy that we're treating their cash cow with derision. How awful for you.
Pipe down and go back to your clankwanking.

- Good luck copywriting this intellectual property theft
- AI pwned
- I never really understood the codebase in the first place
- Blagger's code
- I'm so much more valuable to my employer now that I've outsourced all that tedious thinking, understanding and creating I used to do.
They vibe code Claude code. So I can see why.
Clippy coding! Newer coders won't get the reference, older coders can hold it with the same scorn.
Vibe coding will do just fine. I understand your concern over your product and its reputation but I don't really share that with you.

My self-hosted LLM can suggest better names for anything!
Subscription fee is only $1m a minute, most answers are returned in about 3 hours, since I can't afford more RAM.
Script Kiddie is the derogatory term for hackers that download tools and have no idea what they are doing.

I wonder how many of these people in this thread made their snarky comment and went right back to Claude Code
It’s not zero
Shit coding Slop coding Hallucination coding Job security coding Your gonna regret this coding Delete all my data coding
I like to pronounce it very German in my environment, which becomes Klaut Kot. Steals Feces. It's quite fitting tbh.
Cuck Coding
slop cobbling
Can't unsee. 💕
Ok boomer, how about slop coding, or woke vibing?
Are those better for your snowflake ears? Or are you going to keep giving us free lists about which words hurt your feelings the most lol
Before LLMs were a thing, my CS1 professor used to call it “The Big Bang Theory”: You write some code and then BANG! It works!
Of course, it doesn’t work, and the results are unpredictable bad software that you don’t understand. The point of the analogy was that you need to analyze and literally iterate over code to gain concrete proof of what it was actually doing to engineer a coherent software design.
