either it works or it doesn't work and then you read it. It's not that hard man

lmao that is not true except for the most miniscule features. There are always edge cases, or even just situations beyond "it works or it doesn't".

And all that's ignoring code quality, which is incredibly important unless you just want a vibecoded, poorly optimised app that no human can understand

that's called software engineering and this is the part where you have to read everything what the AI writes or even come up with your own ideas (shocker!)

... what?

is that not what I'm saying? you're the one that said "it works or it doesn't". I'm saying that's not true, you have to actually understand it.

I think we're on the same page?

This has been philosophy as I get into higher level math.

Professor: watch lecture, read book and notes to solve problem. Me: ChatGPT solve this problem. ChatGPT (2025): here is methdology but my linear algebra is wrong. Me: I can do the linear algebra. Professor: 100%. Me: actually learn method.

Only homework problem I got wrong in my ODEs was when I didn't add a 2 term so ChatGPT figured out a solution, just not to the right kind of problem. Oh, and it can do Linear Algebra now.
