'Slop' perception about to reverse: soon not using AI may signal sloppy coding

markk argues AI coding is at a perception turning point: the dismissive "slop" label for AI-generated code is about to flip.
- Vibe coding had a bad reputation, and some criticism was justified
- But coding models are improving fast, already beating many human developers on some tasks, approaching consistently writing better code — cleaner, more reliable, better tested
- The irony: soon NOT using AI may become a sign of sloppy development
- The skill that matters is building great software and knowing how to leverage AI, not writing code by hand
