Code Slop Sucks (But It's Complicated)

Code slop sucks, but it's also kind of good. It sucks because it's ruining jobs for people just starting out. It's kind of good because now I can get easy jobs done quickly. Training interns was rewarding, but it certainly didn't get work done faster. The code it writes isn't elegant or maintainable
