    I got back into programming because I can ask an Ai my stupid questions I’m too dumb to google correctly. I haven’t otherwise wrote code since college and kinda revived a long dead hobby. It removes a barrier to entry that I otherwise gave up on. Been working on a project to teach myself python the last few months, with Ai replacing the roll of google for the most part.

    Copy-pasting Ai code still blows up in your face just as much as code you stole from stack overflow…

      I wouldn’t say you’re dumb when it comes to Google. Their search is just a broken mess of dog shit now.

      No…stack I can usually figure out from the context of questions what went wrong. AI will very confidently and eloquently give you a very subtle bullshit answer.

      The issue isn’t you doing your hobby projects however you want, it’s people being paid and produce LLM generated code.

      And the biggest issue is managers/c-suites thinking that LLMs can replace senior devs.

      And the biggest biggest issue is that the LLMs in their current mainstream form are terribly bad for the environment.

        Why wouldn’t you use AI as a shortcut if you can? Can you actually replace senior devs with AI? I’m sure that depends on the company and what they consider a “senior dev”. Maybe there’s some not-so-senior senior devs that should be worried.
