Code slop
And herein lies the reason I won’t be writing any form of AI-derived code in Textpattern. Because I want to know what it’s doing and don’t want to have to wade through thousands of lines of code that generated by something that may have not have understood or implemented the requirements correctly. As one guy interviewed says:
He likes that he’s able to work alone on projects, saving time and money, but agrees that vibe coding is not like hiring an intern or a junior coder. Instead, vibe coding is akin to “hiring your stubborn, insolent teenager to help you do something,” he told TechCrunch.
“You have to ask them 15 times to do something,” he said. “In the end, they do some of what you asked, some stuff you didn’t ask for, and they break a bunch of things along the way.”
Malekzadeh estimates he spends around 50% of his time writing requirements, 10% to 20% of his time on vibe coding, and 30% to 40% of his time on vibe fixing — remedying the bugs and “unnecessary script” created by AI-written code.
Worse, what if it introduces security issues when it took shortcuts based on “best practices” learned from rookie code posted all over the internet? How many upvoted SO answers have comments like “not for production because data sanitization has been omitted”?!
I wonder if Microsoft are using AI tools to write their next AI Windows? I guess not if their stated 3 aims of the new OS are AI Transformation, Security and Quality. Either way, they’re imploring everyone to stop calling the technology “AI Slop” and, by extension, we must never refer to Windows as a Sloperating System.
No. Never.

Next fork: SlopPattern. It can generate site content, so you don’t have to.

Not quite, full on AI for the next version of Windows but there is this:
CEO Satya Nadella proudly claims that 30% of the company’s code was written by AI, and numbers are only going to increase from here.
“I’d say maybe 20%, 30% of the code that is inside of our repos today and some of our projects are probably all written by software,” Nadella explained at Meta’s inaugural LlamaCon AI developer in April 2025.
