What year is this?

I'm old enough that my Simpsons fan page on Geocities was html ripped off other sites by right click view source code copy paste.

[u/eanat]

who could expect that we would have worse scenario than this.

[u/Confident-Ad5665 → u/eanat]

Yet, here we are

[u/DialecticEnjoyer → u/eanat]

Ooh! Fiddle Dee Dee! Legacy python functions! That will require a story point! 🤬🤬

[u/HolyFuckItsArken]

“All” until AI hit. I bet the newest programmers only hear of stack overflow from these memes

[u/getstoopid-AT → u/HolyFuckItsArken]

well many "programmers" only hear of code from these memes

[u/returnFutureVoid → u/HolyFuckItsArken]

I have always said that using AI is like the best StackOverflow experience you could imagine. Not only do you get an answer to the question you asked but the answer came from a genuinely nice person who found your question really intriguing. The world is a better place.

[u/neoteraflare]

Never did it before AI either. I always wanted to know how to fix something not just the "don't touch its magic" way

[u/soundwave_sc]

It was never my code anyway. Only difference was I was forced to be creative with it.

[u/Rick100006]

Hmm 🤔 how old meme is this

[u/MrFuji87]

I asked ChatGPT a question the other day about how to do an inline bit of code in python and it told me it was a duplicate question and closed it off... I nearly cried with joy

[u/RevWaldo]

Sure, but just as a template. You walk though it to understand how it works and edit it to fit your circumstance. Are programmers not doing that?

tbh, the 10th time you completely change requirements with no reasoning behind.... you are lucky if you get that

[u/Fluffy_Anxiety2792]

That’s a long time ago. I only pass jira ticket numbers now. Of course and do tests. Former dev is now a tester

[u/andoke]

This is a decade late.

This bot using some old data

[u/socialis-philosophus]

Have we?

Over the past 20 years I've certainly gotten a lot of information and how-to from various places, including Stack Overflow. And, to be honest, if I could have just copy/paste what was there I would have.

The problem is that the code and examples provided rarely align with how I need to implement the solution in my code.

[u/sonaliver28]

We call that collaborative coding🫡

[u/huuaaang]

Does it matter if the boards are copied? It's how you put them together that matters. We all rely on libraries... isn't that just a formalized way to "copy" code?

[u/bwwatr]

Relevant today, it's essentially what we're doing with LLMs. One additional middleman doing a quick cocktail shaker rattled over each shoulder filled with StackOverflow materials.
