    Lemmings being outraged is hilarious to me. We’re just gonna pretend the pre-LLM time period didn’t have people mindlessly copy paste code into all of our known projects? At least with LLMs you can keep asking questions/sources for each prompt response unlike in the past. In the past you’d just get rude remarks by someone who ultimately didn’t help you.

      if you just straight up copypasta’d code before AI you were just as big of an idiot as these sloppers are.

      No, IEatDaFeesh, that’s something that first-years do. Are you a first-year?

        Ohh, so you invent your own code/algorithms for every project? I am assuming someone of your caliber doesn’t ever need to install packages with functions other people made (gasp) because that would be beneath you right? Even copying the code straight from the documentation is an insult to our intelligence! Developers who use LLMs as a search engine to find documentation are morally wrong because that leads to copying code from the documentation! You’re right, only first years would copy code outlined in the documentation!

        You’ve opened my eyes because now I see that even using the base functions of a language is technically copying code from the creators of said language. I realize that I never wrote those sort functions in the backend so I’m committing computer science sin!

          Every library my team has ever included in a project has gone through rounds of evaluation to make sure it is 1. publically trusted, 2. well tested, 3. and still in active development. I have no idea what this has to do with mindlessly copying code.

          so you invent your own code/algorithms for every project?

          If you’re going to submit an algorithm that isn’t maintained and you don’t know how it works, I’m not merging your pull request.
