In the world that the AI bros want for us, understanding has become a hobby.
- awesome_dude 7mo agoThe problem with that is - AI isn't a developer. By that I mean, it's fabulous for taking the input I give it, processing it, and returning a collection of tokens that it has found in its training data that do what is being asked. It's regurgitating fragments of prior work - I have zero complaint about that, just as a developer you now need to understand what those fragments combined do, and whether that really fits with your actual desire - or not. To put it into old people's terms "You got the answer from Stack Overflow? Was that the code from one of the answers.... or the question?"

- markus_zhang 7mo agoYep. It is a luxury. Nowadays I use AI for work, and my productivity increases. However, I don't learn much from the tasks, because I get more tasks since the team went down half size. Understanding is a luxury now.
