>> Slop is not a distinct style, it can be overlaid on top of many others. Even when I got it to make a page to look like X, it looked like X with slop.

Today, I can visit a website and instantly tell it was generated using LLMs and agents from A to Z:

1. Everything is in blue or mauve gradient, with a white background, and a single JavaScript-heavy page that lags as soon as you scroll a little.

2. There are always a ton of 404 pages.

3. Third, the HTML comments often expose credentials and to-do lists—sometimes even right above the login page (true story...).

This kind of website is a hard pass for me, and I add the company (and its founders) to my personal blacklist of people and companies I’ll never use anything from.

Then I would prefer the 20% that pay less, but do something good for humanity.

Thanks, but I don't need this 3x more. I just need ethics.

I am very very sad reading that, indeed.

It is absolutely not what I think about "job" and "contributing to society": I would prefer to be paid less but work in an ethical company than the other people of this thread...

This is maybe why I am feeling so "disconnected" with Tech and devs today.

Yes, and I found one. It pays enough for having a very stable life, and in a company with ethics!

No reason to be that sarcastic, the job market is not dead (at least not in Europe).

I have a serious question to anyone working at Meta and reading this: HOW can you still work at this company!?

Why don't you quit this very toxic company, and start working at another place or even on your own? I genuinely don't understand...

Let just Meta die!

As an European: 100x YES!

I really like the direction and the transparency of Mistral, among those players.

Is this really the state of "software engineering" today? :/

Incredible you lied 9 days ago saying it was just an experiment.

Congratulations dude, you definitely lost the respect of most of us here.

The winner in the long term will be the one that will deliver the best performance and low-memory ratio for local models.

Anthropic, OpenAI and Mistral are just companies that are making money right now (still not profitable), but will lost their tractions and values in the long term.

However, I am more appealing to see how OpenCode Go subscriptions will go in the future: cheaper than big techs, more tokens, and they don't train on our data to (try to) improve...

About time to read the code you ship now...
