As a developer of software I often have to care because it matters and so I read the code.
Source code is often written for other humans first and foremost.

I've had to dig into node modules to try to debug code from a closed source library that we depended on.
I'd much rather wade through AI slop than minified code, which may have previously been AI slop.
Minified code is not for humans, it may as well been bytecode.
Agreed! That's why I told my llm to help me.
But I think larger point being, it's not always feasible for humans to understand every line of code that runs in their software.

Both can be equally bad. Especially if you could get the source of the minified dependency and find that it is also slop.
What a world when we’re playing Would you rather with people’s property and information.
