> How do you know this was a "slop" if you did not try it?

Because I have eyes and can look at the code for 2 seconds. It's not very difficult to check for the hallmarks of careless slop code.

If you can't tell in a few seconds then you can continue testing it out just like any actual project.

And what are those hallmarks in this case? There is no heuristic that is applicable for every programming language.

Unfortunately, ratatui requires a lot of verbose code that may be indistinguishable from LLM generated code: https://ratatui.rs/examples/apps/demo/
