Stack Overflow and Google were once the "AI" of the previous generation. "These kids can't code, they just copy what others have done"
Yeah, and copy-pasting SO answers with no thought is just as bad.
And when copy-pasting didn't work, those who dared to rise above and understand it, became better. Same with AI, those of the new generation who see through the slop will learn. It's the same as it has always been. Software engineering is more accessible than ever, say what you will about the current landscape of software engineering but that fact remains undeniable.
Well said. Some of the most talented devs I know use Stack Overflow. It depends on how you use it.
All the devs I know use SO…
True.
