And I'm the opinion that you can't understand it, as well, unless you've written some.
You can watch someone else ride a bike or write an essay or cook a soufflé, without ever gaining the ability.

I agree, I'm just saying that things are changing, and now it's like you can have some sort of chef next to you teaching you how to do the soufflé, I've never said that you shouldn't touch any code 🤷 anyways just opinions about what I can observe around
I’m trying to point out the issue of a potentially misleading sense of accomplishment. It’s hard to judge expertise in most circumstances and it’s harder to judge an AI. It’s possible to pick up bad patterns from it unknowingly especially as a beginner. Maybe the soufflé chef never actually made the soufflé before either and just makes it up on the spot.
But yes, writing code is already of relatively little value. And we are all guessing which of the related skills will stay relevant and how long.
Exactly this! Totally agree
They constantly hallucinate classes and functions, too. Drives me nuts. And then when I'm like, that isn't a thing, it starts arguing with me and I have to demand it rewrite and it'll rewrite three times the same crap and I have to just go in and hard-delete everything and force it to start from scratch.
People are learning to code from this crazy person who lives in my computer. 😂
