New Trend: Slopfix Offers AI-Generated Code Deletion Service to Solve Enterprise Code Bloat

Software consulting firm Slopfix offers a specialized service using AI to delete superfluous code, some of which was generated by AI itself, highlighting a new problem that accumulates faster than previously seen.

In an era where AI code-writing tools are highly popular, an interesting new business named "Slopfix" has emerged. It offers services to delete superfluous or low-quality code generated by AI, with fees reportedly discussed on Hacker News to be as high as $10,000 USD per week. Slopfix points out that AI-generated code is the latest evolution of the accumulated low-quality code problem (technical debt) in systems, which previously arose from outsourcing or system migrations. However, this AI problem accumulates much faster. Slopfix's process begins with a free analysis of the client's code repository. If they take on the job, the team will create a detailed regression checklist to ensure the program still functions as before after modifications. They then use their own AI coding agents to delete and refine the code for conciseness. The founder, identified as 'zie1ony' on Hacker News, stated, "we get paid to delete code," and clients pay based on the proportion of code reduction targets actually achieved, with a 2-week guarantee.
