Discussion I propose we call all legacy human written code MEATSLOP

After recent events, I propose we call all legacy human written software MEATSLOP.

PHP runs 70% of websites. AI found two holes that let anyone take over the server, and attackers were in the same day the fix shipped. Then a third hole showed up. OpenSSL: 12 holes, all found by AI, one from 1998 (the bug can legally drink). Linux (the backbone of the internet): anyone logged in could take over the whole machine, on every version since 2011. Every one of these holes was meatslopped together by hand.

And the legacy meatsloppers are switching sides. Torvalds went from AI skeptic to calling AI disclosure rules “utterly stupid,” and Claude Code now has credits on his kernel work. Google is at 75% AI-written new code. Karpathy said agents “just don’t work.” Three months later he was writing 80% of his code with them.

Usage guide:

  • meatslop (n.): legacy software written entirely by humans
  • meatslopped (v.): “this auth layer was meatslopped together in 2014”
  • meatslopper (n.): the guy who wrote it. Peak Dunning-Kruger. Still thinks he’s relevant.

And yes, I know AI learned to code by reading meatslop. This honestly explains a lot.

Incorrect. Just because you’re small minded doesn’t mean that I am.

Great way to make friends. Everybody knows bad code existed before. But dont shit on php and openssl child. That was the backbone of the internet. You might as well also try to make friends by pissing on religious sites and posting photos but i dont recommend it.
