Slop Prompting is Not a Coding Skill and Slop Deserves Shunning
Red Hat is hypocritically shunning the very same thing it keeps promoting
Discussions about slop in "code" clothing have been banned in some forums. They're seen as time-wasting nonsense that nobody wants to read. Similarly, some "vice-coded" (slop) "apps" are banned by some "stores". Apple did that; then IBM Red Hat (Fedora) did it; despite them pushing slop they seem to have a resistance to other people doing so! Double standards.
Heck, why would any company want to review/audit code/software that even its own 'creator' never wrote or checked???
An associate has recalled that "people used to not care about code hygiene and refactoring until technical debt bit them on the ass -- hard" (it's even worse when plagiarism engines spew out a lot of code no person ever checked or understood).
So "can we now say a similar thing about the public not caring about technological independence, software freedom, and digital sovereignty for the last 25 years?" he asked.
Should we ever bother trusting software whose code we cannot see? Or software whose control is monopolised by a single company? That makes no sense at all. █
