Im in uni learning to code right now but since I'm a boomer i only spin up oligarch bots every once in a while to check for an issue that I would have to ask the teacher. It's far more important for me to understand fundies than it is to get a working program. But that is only because ive gotten good at many other skills and realize that fundies are fundamental for a reason.

Very "back in my day" energy.

I do not support AI but programming is about solving problems and not writing code.

If we are concentrating on tool, no developers and use punched card as well. Is that a bad thing?

You're right in that the goal is problem solving, you're wrong that inability to code isn't a problem.

AI can make a for loop and do common tasks but the moment you have something halfway novel to do, it has a habit of shitting itself and pretending that the feces is good code. And if you can't read code, you can't tell the shit from the stuff you want.

It may be able to do it in the future but it can't yet

Of course I use as well on a daily basis for coding and AI is shit.

Again, I in no way support AI, I just think that the argument made in the article is also not good.

Has anyone else clicked the chat.com url in the article …

that s the point of being junior. Then problems show up and they are forcing them to learn to solve them
