(It only happens while r-e-ing code. Whatching GenAI'd pixel slops doesn't come with pain, that one just feels souless. It's very obvious is the specific way it's overloaded that nobody went through tons of micro decision (let's say: as opposed to an overloaded picture by Mordillo) and it's just random noise crammed into a pictire)
@dryak @knowprose @detritus @cwebber I had to work on a slopped code base, and yeah, I hated it more than working on human code.
But also, I hated the human who sold this work for 180k€, didn't know how to correctly do anything, so just chatgpt'd happily the whole thing.
All his coworkers had to fix his mess, then, it was my turn.
So knowing it was badly designed just because he couldn't give a shit made me angrier at fixing it.
In general, when I saw bad design in other legacy projects, there was always a good reason behind, and after understanding, then you build empathy and respect for the previous builder.
I have 0 empathy for scammers and their machine friends.
@dolanor
isn't that the point where you just burn it down and write it new from scratch?
