Lazy work used to mean too little output. Now, with AI, it often means too much and more work for everyone else. @tobi call it "slop grenades." A "Slop Grenade" is when you let AI produce the work and pass it on without adding any value (including checking it). Someone else has to wade through it, catch the mistakes, and clean up the mess. You save time and look productive but someone else pays for it.

One very visible effect of AI this summer has been a large influx of bug fixes. In some sense, it is the opposite of AI slop. I manage widely deployed libraries and, in some cases, the number of pull requests has been doubled. In the simdjson library, I merged 92 pull requests in 2024, I am at 134 thus far. In many instances, AI found long standing well hidden bugs. It makes me happy because I dislike bugs. But this puts stress on people packaging and distributing these libraries. Sadly, I have also never received so many pull requests that I have not merged. For simdjson, I received 219 pull… Related

You work your ass off to get a lot of money. But what is that money actually for? Money has no intrinsic value—it only matters if you have a clear purpose behind it. Will it get you better friends, a better marriage, or a better relationship with your kids? You better answer that question first. To me, real success isn’t about the money. Success is knowing your nature, finding the best path through that nature, and being able to look back and say, "That was the life I wanted to have."

korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public

The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the

quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
