Stop Sloppypasta — AI Code Quality Manifesto Hits HN Front Page (417pts, 171 Comments)
stopsloppypasta.ai is a manifesto against verbatim, unread LLM output pasted into work products without verification — defining three anti-patterns: The Eager Beaver (generic AI derailing discussions), The OrAIcle (chatbot answers as personal expertise), and The Ghostwriter (AI output as original work). The sharpest insight is the effort asymmetry argument: LLM generation is free but verification still costs the recipient, eroding trust asymmetrically as volume scales. 417 HN points and 171 comments signals this resonates strongly with the developer community currently wrestling with AI-assisted code review norms.
