In my time we didn’t paste LLM-generated code we barely understand and hoped it compiled, let alone work. We pasted code from stack overflow we barely understood and hoped it compiled and let alone work, as god intended.
User Feedback, the Crawling Chaos, the Haunter of the Dark… I feel its tendrils of madness reaching for my mind even now. I am not ready for this. Ph’nglui mglw’nafh caffeine R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn! Iä! Iä!
You’re young. Back in my day, we bought a book called “Advanced Algorithms for C vol. 3”, and we manually typed the code from it if it didn’t come with a CD.
When I was a kid I remember copying entire games in BASIC printed in popular science magazines. They never worked because my dads computer had a slightly different BASIC dialect.

God has no hand in programming. He’s just as confused as us.
Oh there’s definitely some elder gods involved with programming when I do it.
He still doesn’t understand how we got the rock to think
Look at how shitty our implementation is. We need a full refactoring.
Now we’re still pasting code from stack overflow we don’t understand, we’re just getting it from an LLM
Yes, but did the LLM get it from the answers or the questions?..
Who knows, and furthermore, who cares?
Both, of course.
