Experienced senior developers can spot and fix the slop instantly, while still getting a 30x productivity gain, while entry level or junior devs basically only have one "Filter" by which they determine code quality which is: "Does the code seem to work?".
Unfortunately "Slop" will appear to work enough of the time to fool a Junior.
Also the reason Junior devs get "slop" is because their prompts are "slop". They don't know all the right terminologies for things, nor do they even have the writing/language skills necessary for good prompting.
EDIT: Due to everyone checking my math I corrected this to 30x, as what's provable, from past experience.
