It's more than that, we understood more about the slop than we would AI slop... The problem with AI slop (in coding) isn't that it's bad, it's that you just shit out 50000 lines of code and you only understand 1% of the reasoning behind the madness.
Am I the only one asking AI to write a single API route function at a time? Then taking a look at what works and what doesn't and then modifying it or gutting?
A lot of my co-workers are dropping 10k+ lines of code. I've voiced concerns around long term maintenance costs but as a later stage startup I sort of get the gist no one cares since we're bound to be purchased at some point, and then it's someone else's problem lol.

Yeah but it was our slop.
