Paid to delete AI code: is cleanup a real business or Sisyphus's labor? (odra.dev)
Slopfix is a three-person software house with one product: deleting AI-generated code. One week, three senior engineers, $10,000, and the bill scales to results. Promise a 50% cut, hit 20%, and you pay $4,000, with a two-week warranty on anything they break.
The thread split fast. Some engineers say cleaning up after coding agents is already their best-paying work; others call it Sisyphus's labor and would rewrite from scratch. And the anti-slop pitch itself reads AI-written: the shop admits it uses Claude Code to do the deleting.
