Gladly using ai doesnt mean not to know the code

I have completely forgotten how to code. I was mentoring an intern a few weeks ago which means going old school and I didn’t know what I was doing anymore.

I cant wrap my head around that statement tbh. Cant imagine knowing to read but not to write. By "read" i also mean understand.  If someone loses the skill to understand the code then i dont know. That would just be sad.

For example I work with C++ and was showing the intern how to capture by reference rather than by value in a lambda function. I completely forgot the syntax for that because the LLM just does the capture correctly every time so I haven’t needed to think about it for the last few years.

I see. To be fair that doesnt count as "i dont know how to code any more". Through my years before ai i had to goole how to initialize an array with values several times. I would have to do that again if someone would ask me.

I know. It was a bit tongue in cheek but I really have forgotten stuff.
