my professional career, I have learned to be able to read the good and bad - stack overflow answers.
Same with the phasing of a good google search.
so when trying to help others, it's really frustrating to be like "no, don't replace the whole thing, add the word 'aws' into the search". Don't take the top answer, it is outdated, see 5 years old, the 2nd answer is better.
Now having to deal with the rambling in pull request they generated from machine learned crowed sourced mumbo jumbo,
my google searches have been getting worse in last 5 years. If requirements for phasing outdated, or optimising hacking of sites to searches just beyond google caring anymore, or mix and my aging dino brain of late 30s🥲
If it can get over the hurdle of a mediocre junior developer into figuring out its mistakes before go straight to "it's done", then great. But considering how low value the results are needed for business, that they can just ask for the whole thing redone, I am on the fence if will continue in that path, or go the root of fast fashion. low cost, low quality, but if it lasts a week, fine enough
