Three Basic Rules
Identifying slop is all about the fundamentals. Learn three simple rules to help you spot slop the right way, every day.
Rule 1
If it was generated in under 30 seconds, it's probably slop
Code that appears faster than you can read it deserves extra scrutiny. Speed is the enemy of quality.
Rule 2
Keep hallucinated imports out of your codebase
If the package doesn't exist on npm or PyPI, it's a hallucination. Check your dependencies before you ship.
Rule 3
No unreviewed AI code and no copy-pasted Stack Overflow from 2014
Every line deserves a human review. Unreviewed code is like loose plastic bags in recycling — it contaminates everything.
*Slop definitions vary by tech stack. Check your linter.

}Slop 101
Slop is AI-generated code that almost works. It passes the vibe check but fails the code review.
It's the || true at the end of a boolean expression.
It's four implementations of formatDate() in the same repo.
It's the function that works perfectly — until it doesn't.
Learning to identify slop is the first step toward proper disposal. Our experts have catalogued the most common specimens so you can spot them in the wild.
