Startup charges $10k/week to clean AI-generated code

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from Hacker News ·

A new service called SlopFix charges companies $10,000 per week to remove and rewrite AI-generated code from their codebases. The startup targets firms that used AI coding tools and now face maintenance and security issues from the generated code. SlopFix claims its human developers can fix the mess faster than teams can manage internally.
