Slop is the First 90%.

· Bits and Bobs 7/20/26
  • Slop is the First 90%.
    • When someone hands you something that has only done the First 90% but presents it as though it's near final, it's excruciating.
    • It puts all the hard work on you as the reviewer.
    • It's a little off, and it's hard to describe what's off.
    • When someone hands it to you, it's a sign of disrespect.
      • "You're not worth polishing for."
    • The presentation uses superficial trappings of quality to demand your attention.
      • But it's unearned attention.
      • A Gilded Turd.
    • It forces work onto you, which is infuriating.
