As a developer, I don’t think it’s just that costs are going up. I’m also seeing more people lately talk about “vibe slop”.

I've noticed as well. A lot of pull requests are just agents running constantly, hoping to have produced something of value. Entropy is at an all-time high, though.

    The bottleneck becomes human review, not code generation. A PR can look plausible and still add more entropy than value.

We have some dude at work who runs their own agent that makes constant commits. We're supposed to review the agent's output.

    Exactly. The bottleneck becomes human review, not code generation. Agents can generate commits faster than humans can verify whether those commits should exist.
