  • you know what? I have had several projects where finding documentation online was hard, sometimes impossible for some proprietary stuff. Shit still got done.

    The excuse for rationalizing ai reads as “when it got too hard, i gave up and gave the task to someone else”. And it wasn’t even the task itself that was hard, it’s just the information gathering and digesting stage (the part in which you learn stuff).

    Edit: I also wrote my own watcfaces back when I had the first pebble model. Llms didn’t even exist yet. Documentation was there and it was very clear. Writing my first watchface was done within the day. And it was also one of my first times with c














  • and because junior devs are going extinct, I am apparently also supposed to just shrivel up and die, I guess. I can’t convince my bosses that avoiding new code being written (they want us all in on low-code/no-code platforms) because junior devs straight up don’t know how to code anymore is a ticking time bomb.

    If they don’t have the critical thinking skills to understand one screenful of code, how do they think they’ll actually fare when the same logic is split between 50 projects running in different environments, with undocumented tight coupling and no tool that can understand all of it at once (like an lsp server for code) with each line being on a different page hidden behind 30 mouse clicks?
