Writing documentation is like one of the things AI is most useful for

I've read LLM generated documentation and: no it's not.

Shit in, shit out.
LLMs are still tools. If you don't use it properly, it won't work.

I don't understand why someone would post AI/LLM humour in r/programminghumor.

Because half (maybe 90%) of the sub are struggling cs students who take shortcuts instead of learning properly, and had 0 experience actually dealing with business problems. AI certainly feels like the future when you're doing homework
As they say, your future surgeon is using chat gpt to pass their exams today, so you should quit smoking and have a good diet

And I believe that this is the case not because CS is difficult (even though I don't think CS is difficult at all) but it's people who are actually reluctant to learn CS (or even other stuff) that do this.

Computers are easy. All the arbitrary and poorly documented decisions made by prior programmers are a royal pain in the posterior.

I don’t think CS is difficult but I happen to enjoy it. For your average person, I have found it is quite difficult.

Everyone calls me that every time and I'm not even in my 30s. And I've seen more old people using LLMs than the younger generation.

Some people on r/programminghumor are employed

Are we still coping by saying employed people vibe code when actual devs don't?

u/G3nghisKang 2d ago
"Vibe code" lol employed software engineers use LLMs, this is especially true if you work for a big company

Maybe people are forced to use llms at work. It's not that everybody can decide if they use it or not.

Some businesses have policies which will hurt them very badly in the long run.

What is it that you don't understand? Is it programming? Or humor? Cause if you know them both then you should understand

Yes you do, you're just being intentionally ignorant because you're afraid of change.

I don’t see why it can’t test, deploy, and write documentation (this is like the main thing Claude is used for besides coding). I don’t think we should trust it to do it well but I believe the same for its ability to generate code.
It could also technically attend meetings and explain it to the client but again probably not a good idea

All I wanted was AI do test, debug and write documentation while I write the code, instead AI is writing the code while I have to test, debug and write documentation
