Typing Code By Hand > Using #AI To Write Code For You

If you're a programmer and use #Claude or whatever to write your code, I'm laughing in your fucking face.

"But learning code is so hard and takes time!" YES- THAT'S THE FUCKING POINT. Do the hard work or don't fucking do it at all.

Using AI to write code for you is just using other's code and it will have more errors than if you just learned how to write it yourself.

Stop being a piece of shit. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Signed,
Someone who taught myself the code I currently know

P.S. - AI will never ever be good at what their creators claim it will. They are banking on you believing their lies.

@trinityblair yes, plus all of the massive ethical problems with the technology

@lumi yes, there's a lot but the point of this thread specifically is about how it's just not useful for writing code and never will be.

@trinityblair i'm happy to hear more and more people echo that sentiment. the industry is at a fever pitch about it right now and it's unbearable

these overinflated ego techbros types are also the worst kinds of people to deal with

@lumi just blocked one actually. 😬 Tried using a technicality in what I said to counter my entire argument. Their entire MO, honestly.

@trinityblair ugh sorry to hear that, you don't deserve to deal with them ​​

eventually their overusage will just lead to their skills (or whatever is left of them) atrophying and eventually the cognitive debt coming due. if the tech is even still subsidized heavily at that point. they could just lose their ability to code over genai companies raising their prices

not like these people ever really cared about the craft of coding, they just see it as a means to an end, and then downplay the value of actually learning the skill. i actually like coding, i love doing this stuff, give me the respect i deserve, ugh (tho, not like they ever cared about respecting their fellow humans 🙄)

they'll also just bury the massive ethical issues under the rug and act like they don't exist

@lumi you are 100% correct! If you stop using a skill, you will lose it. Good riddance to their skills, if they have any. 😈

@trinityblair it's also sad to see that many programmers i used to look up to fell into this trap ​​

i guess they never really cared about it, as they're blatantly embracing slop machines now

it hurts
