The Psychotic Network FerretSome AI coder: "I" wrote this new thing that searches for hidden strings in files.
Most youngins: Oh wow, that is so useful, I wish I had this years ago!
Us greybeards: Congratulations, you reinvented grep.
This is absolutely a subtoot.
B'ad Samurai 🐐🇺🇦@nuintari searching and ordering was a pretty common and early CS assignment. Still true? Or pointless because all students vibe code it?
@badsamurai Yeah, somewhere along the way, people forgot that the point of education is the learning, and the letter grade was just a status indicator.
Now, the letter grade has become the goal of most. With modern AI implementations, the learning is just busy work that gets in the way.
Every time I hear someone say they are learning coding with AI assistance, I die a little inside.
