We're at a turning point in AI/SI coding, and I think the perception of "slop" is about to completely reverse.
Until recently, "vibe coding" had a pretty bad reputation in some developer circles. AI-generated code was often dismissed as inferior, unreliable, or just plain "slop". And to be fair, some of that criticism was justified.
But coding models are improving at an incredible pace. They're already outperforming many human developers on certain tasks, and we're approaching a point where AI will consistently write better code than most humans. Not just faster, but cleaner, more reliable, and better tested.
And here's the irony: Soon, NOT using AI might become a sign of sloppy development. Why write everything manually when AI can help you produce better code?
The skill that matters is no longer just writing code. It's building great software, and knowing how to make the best use of AI.
