99% of the software being created now is slop and falls into two categories AI Agentic Wrappers around LLMs that enable you to produce slop quicker (not necessarily cheaper or more efficiently, many of them burn through tokens like crazy) Slop apps that are a solution looking for a problem (most of them already solved by other developers), monetised up the whazoo for no good reason. There’s a very small % of actually useful apps being made, which is to be expected given how the rest of the rest of the internet is. The problem is the noise to signal ratio is now going through the roof, the internet (github, app store etc) is becoming so drowned in crap that it gives me a headache just to look at them. Hopefully the cream is able to rise to the top, but turns out some barrier to entry sometimes isn’t a bad thing. It’s like social media all over again, turns out giving everyone a forum to speak just results in mostly brain rot crap. I really wonder where we’ll be in a year or two with this stuff. submitted by /u/Dredgefort
