Devs flip on code bloat: from 'code is a liability' to praising AI slop spitting 50k unreviewed lines a day
rickasaurus · x · 2026-11-03
A sardonic take from AdamRackis on how developer culture flipped in one year: the same crowd that preached "code is a liability" now celebrates AI that "can produce 50,000 lines of unreviewed code a day" — and warns anyone delaying the merge is "destroying the company's future." A sharp jab at the rise of AI slop in modern engineering culture.
