Not gonna lie, I used slop early on when it was available, as well as when I was starting to get my footing with PowerShell, working on the CopyCompare script.

I quit using it fairly early on after hearing more and more about how awful it is for the environment, and how companies would shoehorn it into everything unnecessarily just to make a quick buck off the boom. Not to mention my own experience having to troubleshoot and re-do bad code that it would spit out.

I haven't used it since, but I would be lying if I said I've never used it.

While it still makes me cringe and question judgement of someone actively using slop, I do believe that people can change their ways and be better over time.

If I didn't believe people could improve, I'd be living a very sad, jaded fucking life.

@maddy this is super important. I've sometimes bragged that I've never once swiped on a short-form video, and the reaction I get is "I wish I could be like you".

I need to reframe what I say to make it clear that it is absolutely just as cool (if not cooler) if you used to scroll TikTok but now you don't.
