Is this the same subset of people who copy/paste code directly from stack overflow without understanding ? I’m not sure this is a new problem.

- trinsic2 6mo agoHey. I resemble that remark sometimes!! quit being a hater (sarcasm) :P
- pizza234 6mo agoIn my experience, no - I think the ability to build more complete features with less/little/no effort, rather than isolated functions, is (more) appealing to (more) developers.
- malnourish 6mo agoI don't think so. I'll spend a ton of time and effort thinking through, revising, and planning out the approach, but I let the agent take the wheel when it comes to transpiling that to code. I don't actually care about the code so long as it's secure and works. I spent years cultivating expertise in C++ and .NET. And I found that time both valuable and enjoyable. But that's because it was a path to solve problems for my team, give guidance, and do so with both breadth and depth. Now I focus on problems at a higher level of abstraction. I am certain there's still value in understanding ownership semantics and using reflection effectively, but they're broadly less relevant concerns.

- foobarchu 6mo agoIt's a new problem in the sense that now executive management at many (if not most) software companies is pushing for all employees to work this way as much as possible. Those same people probably don't know what stack overflow even is.
- sroussey 6mo agoCopied and pasted without noting the license that stack overflow has on code published there, no doubt
- dingaling 6mo agoIt's difficult to copy & paste an entire app from Stack Overflow
