@sun @fristi I wonder how things would work out if all the LLM SaaSes and SO went offline. 70% of programmers would probably not be able to work.

@phnt @sun the problem is that most of those knobheads never did more than skim through a few tutorials, instead of following actual training or getting a degree in something ICT. Also stuff like IDEs full of automation and code completion kinda dulls the brain. There used to be a whole generation of programmers that typed code using nothing more than a basic text editor with no features.

@fristi @phnt I typed in BASIC programs from a magazine from the library

@fristi @sun Bootcamps are probably one of the reasons why the industry went downhill fast. On the other hand, if you wanna learn something, the resources simply aren't there in most cases. Or aren't of high enough quality.
Like for example I picked up PHP to automate writing some parts of my blog. The PHP docs page is probably one of the worst online documentations I've ever used. Unless you specifically know what you are looking for, you will not find it easily.
But I too like my syntax highlighting and LSP warnings.
