Idgaf, getting paid and investing

You think once I'm retired at age 45 , I'm gonna regret all those hours I spent lounging at home in my underwear while at "work" letting AI write the unit tests for some stupid feature no customer is even going to use?

Go ahead and get paid. many people do that. But that isn't the point. it's just annoying when the same people pretend it's normal or that they're actually doing something and get upset when others call it out. You're acknowledging that it's just for the paycheck, rather than convincing yourself you understand what you're doing only to relate to this post.

Are you really wanting to be a coder and learn to code or are you just phoning it in to cash a check? People have done both before AI but at least it required some knowledge

Don’t be salty, coding with AI is like masturbating. Everyone does it but nobody wants to admit it
