A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Slopocalypse
First of all: don’t panic.
This has nothing to do with robots coming for your job, or some sort of AI uprising. The slopocalypse represents the point where AI writes code faster than anyone can review it. It’s entirely survivable, though, but you won’t survive it through sheer willpower, and you sure as heck won’t pull through by promising yourself you will "review more carefully next sprint”.
I mean… Be honest. You’ll still merge that code, because you have fourteen other tabs open and deadlines breathing down your neck. But multiply all those AI shenanigans by a week and the number of your team members…You, my friend, have got yourself a slopocalypse.
Good news is, there is a solution.
TL;DR The slopocalypse is AI producing code faster than you can review it. Nothing too crazy and unmanageable and certainly not worth banning AI over.
Keep the few simple daily...
