Your Coding Agent Passes the Tests. Watch What Happens When It Has to Extend Its Own Code.
Article summary
Quick briefing — cleaned from the original RSS feed
Your coding agent scores well on SWE-bench. You ship it into a real workflow where it has to extend its own code across multiple sprints. What happens? SlopCodeBench just measured exactly that — and the results should change how you think about coding agent deployments. The Benchmark Nobody Was Running SlopCodeBench (UW-Madison, MIT, Washington State) tests 11 coding agents across 20 problems and 93 checkpoints. At each checkpoint, the agent receives an updated spec and must extend its own…
