I actually agree with what you’ve written here, but not in this context. This IS a formal context where the recruitment poster in the image isn’t trying to be clever or interesting or funny, which are all valid contexts for different uses of established language rules, they’re just wrong. Additionally the OP comment here wasn’t being rude by offering the correct word for the context, I saw it as offering assistance to someone forming their sentence incorrectly.

Personally I think this is a psyop by Microsoft to devalue the word ‘slop’ by using it in the wrong context.
Outsourcing back ends is one of the key parts of being a butcher.
