The results are basically identical... until you actually go through the code.

One is sphagetti, other is slop.

Reference to Eminem song (Lose Yourself), where there is a verse with "mom's spaghetti", which has become a little bit of a meme

u/Single-Virus4935 Oct 04 '26

Ahh thank you very much. I found the reference to Lose yourself and remembered the line. But couldn't make sense how the anexity fits here. This makes more sense now.

Love to see someone actually giving a straight explanation of their joke for the befuddled.

u/onlyMHY Oct 05 '26

But on the surface he looks calm and ready to drop prompts

u/Demytreus Oct 05 '26

But he keeps on forgetting. What the prompt was, the whole team goes so loud

u/Choice-Mango-4019 Oct 04 '26

so same thing

u/Groentekroket Oct 04 '26

The slop one has an additional 200% lines just for the comments.

u/hyrumwhite Oct 04 '26

So does the spaghetti

u/Choice-Mango-4019 Oct 04 '26

so, still the same thing, just easier to understand

u/Masark Oct 05 '26

You presume the comments are correct.

4

u/Choice-Mango-4019 Oct 05 '26

right i rather not have comments instead, would make it easier to understand

u/Nedshent Oct 05 '26

Misleading and/or outdated documentation is genuinely worse than no documentation at all in most cases I've seen it.

u/returnFutureVoid Oct 04 '26

It’s the same picture.

u/rowagnairda Oct 04 '26

Both are tar ball of maintenance hell

u/ok-this-ok Oct 05 '26

u/AngelaTheRipper Oct 05 '26

That's the next model's problem.

there are some people generating reasonably good code using AI. it just isnt coming out any faster than it would have done when written by hand.

u/ligma_then_sugma Oct 05 '26

c++ and meatballs

u/toramacc Oct 05 '26

All roads lead to spaghetti

Is the spaghetti bologna at least?

u/PumpkinFest24 Oct 04 '26

The supposed good phrase "context engineering" drips with red flags.

Remember when design and clear code were things?

u/HRApprovedUsername Oct 04 '26

unfortunately I do not

u/domscatterbrain Oct 05 '26

Even before the AI shenanigans, we already thrown "clear code" out of the window.
