These days I see so much AI slop that my reaction when I see code I hand-wrote myself is “hey, that’s pretty good”. My team’s code is great, but we use a lot of shared code written by other teams, with varying levels of quality.

Been writing the same software for 20+ years now, don't even need git blame to figure out what asshole wrote this shit.

I love that they called it "blame" lol. They knew what it would be used for.

Sometimes you don't even recognize your own trash, 6 weeks later.
