ChatGPT just makes me feel like I’m doing code review for junior developers who don’t understand the task… wait…
…who wrote code without stack overflow
I’ve got no issues with people using stackoverflow or chatGPT as a reference. The problem has always been when anyone just skims what they found and just paste it in without understanding it. Without looking at the rest of the comments, further discussion, or looking at any other search results for further insight and context.
I think chatGPT makes this sort of “carelessness” (as opposed to carefulness) even easier to do, as it appears to be responding with an answer to your exact question and not just something the search algorithm thinks is related.
…who wrote in-line assembly.
In days of yore, before Google or even Altavista, you could tell the quality of a team by how many O’Reilly books they had on the shelves.
I find it to be suprisingly usless compared to classic aproach. But in my case it might be beacuse of the language i work with ( abap ).
I cant use chatgpt with godot :(
Why not? I haven’t had the best time with it, but it certainly can write gdscript
I’ve always, always been a documentation-only guy. Meaning I almost never use anything other than the documentation for the languages and libraries I use. I genuinely don’t feel that I’m missing out on anything, I already write code faster than my peers and I don’t feel the need to try to be some sort of 10x developer.
Sometimes there are better methods to implement something, and we can learn from others’ mistakes without having to make them ourselves
How would chatgpt streamline that any better than other documentation and skimming things like programming blogs and stackoverflow?
It’s not as dumb as you are suggesting. I’ve been programming in various languages since the 80s and I can say with confidence that your take is, at best, absurd. Go spend some time with GPT 4.
I’m IP banned due to my VPN. If they don’t want my business, that’s fine. I’m not getting off my VPN just to interact with proprietary software.
I’ve always, always been a intuition only guy. Meaning I almost never use any thing other than blind guessing on how languages and libraries work. I genuinely don’t feel I’m missing out on anything, my farts already smell better than the rest of my peers and I just don’t feel the need to learn the modern tools of my trade.
I can code a feature faster than i can debug ChatGPTs attempt. so long as it’s in JS
ChatGPT is better at bash than me though
There was once a programmer that wrote his own code
Of course the first programmer did, but everyone who came after just copied her work and tweaked it a bit to suit their needs.
There once were writers who didn’t objectify people by using pronouns reserved for inanimate objects.
I haven’t seen any lately.
