MODERATORS
I've always, always been a documentation-only guy. Meaning I almost never use anything other than the documentation for the languages and libraries I use. I genuinely don't feel that I'm missing out on anything, I already write code faster than my peers and I don't feel the need to try to be some sort of 10x developer.
Sometimes there are better methods to implement something, and we can learn from others’ mistakes without having to make them ourselves
How would chatgpt streamline that any better than other documentation and skimming things like programming blogs and stackoverflow?
Like this commenter claims he doesn’t do?
It's not as dumb as you are suggesting. I've been programming in various languages since the 80s and I can say with confidence that your take is, at best, absurd. Go spend some time with GPT 4.
I'm IP banned due to my VPN. If they don't want my business, that's fine. I'm not getting off my VPN just to interact with proprietary software.
Isn't this why we use external libraries?
I've always, always been a intuition only guy. Meaning I almost never use any thing other than blind guessing on how languages and libraries work. I genuinely don't feel I'm missing out on anything, my farts already smell better than the rest of my peers and I just don't feel the need to learn the modern tools of my trade.
