DESLOP YOUR CODE
If you use Claude Code, you’ll want to use my /deslop command (GitHub link below).
Just download the file and put it in your ~/.claude/commands
Then, you can run /deslop or /deslop some_folder/some_subfolder or even /deslop my frontend typescript code.
It has built-in a set of coding principles, patterns, and best practices that it will use to analyze your code and offer suggested improvements. It can then implement those changes for you.
Read over the file yourself if you want to become a better coder, or just run it and don’t worry about it.
I use it regularly, a few times a day, on various pieces of my code.
Instead of worry about AI generating slop, deslop your code periodically!
Check out the file below and copy it in your Claude commands directory (X deboosts posts with links so I put it in a reply).
I also have a command to add a principle to your local deslop file. /addtodeslop (also linked below) will do a web search for good coding principles that are missing, and add them in. You can also give it a specific principle to add, such as “/addtodeslop loose coupling”.
Anyway, use my deslopping commands in Claude Code, and enjoy high quality, clean, well-engineered code!

USA. A backyard. One man guarding a grill for four hours.
He never left it once.
Everyone else drifted and drank and laughed. But one man stood alone before the flames, turning meat with a long fork, immovable. I knew him at once. The keeper of the sacred fire.
I took my place beside him and said nothing. After a while, he spoke.
"Low and slow," he said, eyes on the coals. "You can't rush it. Rush it, you ruin it."
I bowed my head. A blade, a tea, a life. None can be rushed. I had crossed four thousand miles to hear my grandfather's words from a man in a "KISS THE COOK" apron.
"Everything worth doing is slow," I agreed.
He glanced at me. Something passed between us.
"My wife says just use the oven." He shook his head at the fire. "She doesn't get it."
"They never do," I said.
And this is where it turned.
For the first time in years, this man had been understood. And he rose to meet it. His back straightened. His voice dropped low. A teenager reached for the grill and the man lifted one hand without even looking. "Not yet." The boy retreated. He was becoming what I already believed him to be.
A woman asked when the food would be done. "It's ready when it's ready," he told the flames.
Three people approached. Three were turned away with a single word. By the fourth hour, no one questioned him. The whole party had arranged itself around the man and his fire, the way a village arranges itself around a shrine.
Then he handed me the fork.
"Watch it a sec. I gotta pee."
I have been trusted with castles.
I have never been more honored.
He served everyone before himself, and ate last, standing, still watching the coals. We never traded names. We did not need to.
He believed he had finally met a man who took his cooking seriously.
I believed I had finally met America's last samurai.
Neither of us will ever correct the other.
So tell me, America.
Who is the man at your gathering who will not leave the grill?
Have you ever once asked him why?
I think he is still standing there.
Guarding the fire.
Waiting for one person to understand.
There is a Stone Age tribal war happening in Colombia right now
The Misak and Nasa people are fighting over a section of land. Yes this is real, and yes they are using traditional weapons. Video is from May 21st, 2026.
What you folks don’t seem to understand about the Spencer Pratt LA mayor thing is that to liberals, anyone who is not an extreme leftist is by definition pure evil and cannot be given any chance at power.
That poor kid. Doing his best to play against grown men much bigger and more experienced than him.
And that horrible Indian man blatantly cheats on camera. Hoping the kid wouldn’t have the courage to call over the officials.
What a nasty person.
@JoshuaLisec@chamath An actual intelligent discussion would involve breaking down the OP stats by various dimensions such as time in America, race, familial immigration status, socioeconomic status, to look for the root cause. Honest curiosity instead of pushing a narrative.
I hate when people interrupt each other.
It’s so common.
Next time you’re in a conversation, whether in person or even on video chat, watch how often each person talks over others.
Extremely rude.
So desperate so talk, so insecure.
#AI can be a valuable tool and, at the same time, it calls for a measured and vigilant approach. The speed and simplicity with which practical assistance can be accessed undoubtedly makes life easier. Yet they can also encourage excessive reliance and the search for ready-made answers, and weaken personal creativity and judgment. #MagnificaHumanitas
Every summer, we Americans will shame our European brothers and sisters into getting A/C until they finally embrace this hundred year old technology.
My house is always set at 20°C / 68°F throughout the year.
Even if it’s 38°C / 100°F outside, it’s staying cold in my house.

"Even when Americans visit, they say the heat is worse."
Because you have no AC, no fans, no widespread cooling efforts. Not because your 83 degrees is super special turbo 83 degrees.
Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas
@LunarPledge It’s called summer.
Go buy an A/C unit.
The technology is like over a century old, stop living in the dark ages.
Who cares what the temperature is “supposed to be” just adapt and cool your homes.
Every attempt to reach the stars should be applauded and encouraged.
Every explosion is worth it if it takes us closer to our destiny.
Ad Astra Per Aspera!
In honor of our dripping, sweating, European brothers, I’m setting my overpowered central air conditioning unit in my house to 19°C / 66°F for the rest of the summer.
@Medivhus Just do it. Do it. Do it. Find a way to make more money. Go live in that sweet sweet cool breeze and watch how much your whole life improves. If you want it badly enough, you’ll expend the energy costs.
