AI WON'T MAKE YOU RICH. BUT FIXING BUGS IN AI SLOPWARE WILL
Summary from the TLDR Dev newsletter
AI-generated "slopware" often doesn't have fundamental engineering principles like concurrency and caching, resulting in inefficient, sequential code that builds technical debt. While some argue that better prompting can bridge the gap, the core issue is still a lack of true engineering intuition necessary for building scalable, high-performance systems.
