@tante @luca "Fashion" is an apt description for software development, and "fast fashion" fits the slop coding. I've often referred to software development as a popularity contest due to the lack of measurement. Developers will follow trends without asking why or to what benefit; just look at all the misuse of Python these days. From the reports of slop projects, I'm sure that actual measurement would put slop use in the avoid column of the process spreadsheet.
