JenniferplusplusSo, what was up last week, when all of tech suddenly decided that writing software isn't good or useful or interesting?
Cuz, I gotta say, that sucks, and you're all wrong.
Like, I really don't get why so many of you are so eager to have statistical models write code for you.
I've been arguing for literally my whole career that the actual writing isn't the hard part of software development. But wow, did everyone take that in the wrong direction recently.
Understanding the system is the hard and valuable part. And I genuinely don't know how you think you're going to do that if you never get to do any of the safe and easy interactions with the system.
Veirling | #MMIWG #LandBack@jenniferplusplus omg, junior devs at our shop are using it like crazy. I'm not threatened by it at all, but I do worry people don't have a thorough understanding of the code they are using. Is that unreasonable?
@veirling That is exactly the correct concern, and is in no way unreasonable. If anything, that concern is too restrained.
@jenniferplusplus Thank u. Agreed. I'm getting more assertive about it. I don't like the solutions coming from ChatGPT. Dogsh1t really. Also? What about the joy of solving these problems. We freakin' get to work with puzzles everyday. How cool is that?
