I find these really are not only condescending but also really miss the mark and ironically come off as really uneducated in my opinion, and that really is the most infuriating type of condescension. What you call slopware today is becoming less and less sloppy every six months as new coding models drop. In 2 years the “unmaintainable mess” is going to be far better and far more maintainable than anything the engineers behind these snide websites will make. Do folks realize you can also use the same coding models to ask questions and reason about the “slop” that these code models are writing that somehow is able to do something I would never have been able to do before? I don’t really care if it’s 100% accurate, hit it with a hammer until everything makes sense. Yell at Claude and learn how to wrangle it to get what you want, that skill is an investment that’s going to pay you back far more than following the advice of these folks, that’s my opinion.

Like “you will learn better without AI” is just a bad short sighted opinion dressed up in condescension to appear wise and authoritative.

Learn your tools, learn the limitations, understand where this is going, do the things you want to do and then realize “hey my opinions don’t have to be condescendingly preached to other people as though they are facts”

That is your belief, not a fact

It has been years since "new models will perform less sloppy code, in 6 months"

Current code is still dumb as hell. The emoticons is the part that works really well.

  • Opus 4.5 is not better and less sloppy by an order of magnitude than sonnet 3.7? Amazing how people can’t look at what’s happening right in front of them
