In this episode, I sit down with Bohdan Chaika, the creator of C-SLOP - a fully AI-generated programming language that started as a joke… but quickly turned into something much deeper.

We talk about what’s really happening in software engineering right now.

AI can generate code faster than ever before. Entire systems, APIs, frontends all in minutes. But there’s a problem nobody wants to talk about:

We’re starting to live with code that nobody truly understands.

We dive into:

0/ what “AI slop” actually is
1/ why token-driven development is shaping how we build software
2/ the risks of letting AI write and review its own code
3/ why code reviews are still the last line of defense
4/ and what this means for engineers, especially those just getting started

This isn’t a hype conversation.
It’s a real look at where we are… and where this might be going.

Enjoy.

A conversational YouTube interview between two software engineers discussing 'C Slop' — a viral experimental programming language/concept designed to reduce AI token usage by writing more concise code. The conversation covers the creator's frustration with AI tools like CodeRabbit flooding PRs with low-quality suggestions, the role of human code review as the last line of defense in the SDLC, vibe coding risks for non-engineers, AI token economics, and a satirical 'derp' skill designed to make AI intentionally write broken code. The discussion also touches on whether software engineering is still worth pursuing and how AI is reshaping developer roles from coders to orchestrators.
