  How do you do, fellow kids? (reference: https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/mO8UICqmeSd97l09w_FgSP1TDPQ=/13x0:1409x785/1600x900/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/55701645/Screen_Shot_2017_07_13_at_1.09.20_PM.0.png https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/mO8UICqmeSd97l09w_FgSP1TDPQ=...)

  oof. We didn't even have the Internet, nevermind Google. Kids these days will never even know what it was like pre ChatGPT. programming and even just computers alone was hard back in the day.

    Hard?! You'd generally have one or two medium size books that documented the whole environment including corner cases, very few or no third party libraries, no frameworks, no autoupdates, just programmers living their best lives. If anything ChatGPT is filling the hole created by poorly documented "open source" churn.

      from my perspective, I can just ask ChatGPT to give me code to whatever and it gives it to me. way easier than figuring it out for myself. hell, with openinterpreter, I can just tell my computer to fix my python shit for me. sure, there weren't me frameworks every week, so knowing C++ and MFC was a sure thing, but it's so much easier today. python points at the character of the exact line of code that's throwing the error. no more spending hours of your life to find a missing semicolon, unless you try using rust (seriously, the difference between OK() and OK(); is material? I mean I understand it now after the fact but ungh). you can't grep paper books, at best you can look things up in the index. even without ChatGPT I can ask Google and get stack overflow and just copy and paste without having to think deeply within minutes. if I'm just trying to get something out there, why do it the hard way? there's still need for the hard way (eg, I'm currently fighting Ida pro for a thing), but there's just less of a call for that.

  People born after 1990 aren't real.
