This is good way to put it. Another way: copilot is a crutch. It may help you move about but if you get too comfortable with it you are never going to learn to run.

I did not redirect anything. Please, read more carefully. Here, the parts you have missed reading the post: > Do you think only _experts_ should be programming? > I've _hired around 30 different programmers_ in my life

I feel your pain, I am in much the same situation just in a tech lead position. It takes a lot of patience to undo this damage and explain that simplicity is much more important than lazily, mindlessly repeating "best" practices.

Or you can use Lisp, call your boilerplate generator a macro and get rid of any boilerplate and never again have any problems with modifying any duplicate pieces of code. Sigh... every time I see people generating any code (say through exte

I thought this should have been expected. Security starts with deep understanding. Some standards and practices can help avoid some types of problems, and some are even rather effective (like airgapping your systems), but there isn't

Yep, that's pretty sad conclusion to this. Actually, it is probably even worse than having deepfakes proliferated. In this case people would expect the photos could have been manipulated. On the other hand if only handful of players ca

That's exactly what I meant. Watermarking can be used to find portions of the photo that have been tampered with. It is actually pretty simple. And using AI for this is pretty stupid in my opinion. You just disperse a little bit of add

I feel honor system works pretty well. The point of honor system isn't to put swift immediate justice on every infraction. It is to eliminate dishonest players from the long game. If you are dishonest it usually is your modus operandi.

No, it does not provide sci-fi abilities to "enhance" resolution end extract new details. Because those details are generated by AI. For example, the woman in the photo might have different teeth in reality. We can't learn an

If you can't readily demonstrate ability to write a simple function but insist on getting hired as a developer you are, by definition, overestimating your ability as software developer, because you can't code. If you need to grind
