The Rules

Links to news stories from...

...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

He should've asked ChatGPT instead. That's how "modern developers" seem to get by

Could just go full Luddite and pull his tooth by tying string to it like developers who refuse to use AI.

Not using the nonsense machine doesn't mean we have to abandon the whole rest of the toolbox.

Jumping on the new shiny thing and relying on it over all the other tried and tested tools is the core re-occuring mistake in development.

What? This fantastical scenario has never happened. Name one other new development tool that has lead to the sort of issues you seem to think will happen. Debuggers? Auto-complete? Syntax highlighting? Better build tooling?

Hey man, maybe re-read my comment. It's not long.

I never said a single tool causes issues. I said abandoning existing tools to only use the new thing is a problem.

See people who want to only use the newest frameworks, to the point of re-building projects when they come out.

See people who fixate on a single design pattern and insist on using it in every application.

And I said - when the hell has that ever happened? Ever?

I'm talking about development tools not platforms and libraries. An LLM is not replacing a framework. It's not replacing... Anything really.
