Tech communities are being flooded with AI-generated 'slop apps' - poorly made tools promoted by AI agents. Learn how to spot these fake solutions and find genuinely useful tools for your development workflow.
Good code is dying a silent death as API-first development prioritizes rapid integration over maintainable architecture. In 2026, we're witnessing how the pressure to connect everything is eroding the fundamentals of quality software engineering.
The term 'enshittification' has exploded across tech discussions, but does it belong in professional settings? We examine its origins, current usage, and whether sysadmins should embrace or avoid it when discussing product quality degradation.
