Maybe it’s not slop, but this can lead to lazy developers that don’t grok the code they write.
Linus was right to be sceptical about unit tests in the kernel, writing to test without understanding the problem is common in my paid job. The AI enabled equivalent of writing code without truly understanding it, is going to be much worse and is a separate issue to the pure slop AI generates at the moment.



That’s about it, I find it kind of annoying sometimes as it messes with stuff I knew how to do (harden per-user-tmp partitions), but overall the benefits to distro maintenance must be worth it so I don’t worry about it too much.
Much like the DoB stuff I find the pushback to it far more annoying than the actual inconvenience of sometimes not being able to configure a tweak how I’d like.
