You could ask it to explain line-by-line for you and memorize that enough to give an oral presentation. You may not get the best grade, but it might be enough for a passing grade.

It'd probably take them a lot longer to learn to make the images than to organize a project (which is something they already know how to do). Doubly so for the video clip. Plus this was mostly copy/paste - that's not heavy li

I personally think full stack is more popular than separated roles. They want to hire full stack because you don't really need an expert most of the time, and full stack smashes the two jobs together while paying less. This makes manag

You're not wrong, but the answer to "why not just do this" is because those people probably don't know about bidets, because it's not very prevalent elsewhere in life (in the US especially). Lack of knowledge is a p

This is useful for probably the lower 20% difficulty of UI work. And I bet that developers will get (over)loaded with the responsibility of writing prompts instead of a new job being created.
