And the real maddening part is that search engines have been so enshitfied to make way for AI that's wrong like 9/10, so you're forced to rely on it for answers because if you try google, the snake wraps around and eats it's own tail giving you an AI answer! stalin-stressed

The thing is, our entire field is bad at what we do. For most of the software the cost of error is very low, and for a long time it was a very lucrative field that attracted a lot of people who were really bad at coding. So coding with AI is not significantly different from coding without AI, it’s just that there’s now a much faster, and much less ethically acceptable way of producing code.
