Solving merge conflicts on text-based files is infinitely easier than binary-based. It's not a useful comparison.

Are you saying there are only 30 million people employed in white collar jobs in the world?

Show HN: Slop Meter for GitHub

FanaHOVA — Mon, 02 Mar 2026 20:03:14 +0000

About 6 years ago I wrote a blog post [0] with some ideas on how to help popular open source maintainers deal with all the noise on Github. Patted myself in the back and never did anything about it :)

There's recently been a lot more discussion around this due to AI, so I've built a simple tool called "Slop Meter" [1]. It gives maintainers a quick snapshot of the user's history in open source:

1) Do they just open issues and expect you to do everything, or will they put in the work to fix the problems and open a PR? What's the issues : PR ratio? 2) If they do contribute, what percentage of their PRs actually gets merged?

I feel like these are the two most important signals when triaging what to pay attention to in open source.

You can install this on any Github repo and it will automatically post a comment with the stats. We do not run this on maintainers or existing contributors.

You can also go on the web and look up a Github profile; it will take a minute or so to import depending on how much public data they have (maybe longer if this makes the front page...).

Example profile: https://slopmeter.kernellabs.ai/u/mitchellh

If you are an OSS maintainer, I'd love to hear any feedback.

You know it's a EU study because they bring up "AI patents" in the first 2 minutes of it, as if they mean anything

People can write horrible PRs manually just as well as they do with AI (see Hacktoberfest drama, etc).

"LLM Code Contributions to Official Projects" would read exactly the same if it just said "Code Contributions to Official Projects": Write concise PRs, test your code, explain your changes and handle review feedback. None of this is different whether the code is written manually or with an LLM. Just looks like a long virtue signaling post.

I agree, that's why I was trying to point out that saying "if a person did that we'd have a word for them" is useless. They are not people, and people don't behave like that anyway. It adds nothing to the discussion.

Are you saying that every piece of code you have ever written contains a full source list of every piece of code you previously read to learn specific languages, patterns, etc?

Or are you saying that every piece of code you ever wrote was 100% original and not adapted from any previous codebase you ever worked in or any book / reference you ever read?

Because they make $60B/yr on advertising and car sales is a very valuable ad market.

> not truly groundbreaking foundation models.

Where is any proof that Yann LeCun is able to deliver that? He's had way more resources than any other lab during his tenure, and yet has nothing substantial to show for it.

The structure of each section gives away that it's mostly AI even without having to read the actual words. I'm sure it was AI + writer, but there's something about ending each section with 3-4 short, question-like sentences that is strongly AI. This is the same format as the successful LinkedIn slop so maybe it's not AI and just algo-induced writing.

The equivalent of "If you have to ask, you can't afford it" here is "If you have to ask, you shouldn't do it".

Do you really believe people who have health issues at an early age are simply stupid?

You can pay more. It's unlimited (sorta) through API at API pricing.
