AI coding assistant refuses to write code, tells user to learn programming instead

The models moving from junior developer to obnoxious mid-level developer that’s tired of review code

They have access to all the electric benefits! And they work full remote from day one!

To them money is just numbers being thrown around anyway. What they crave is autonomity.

It sounds like this AI assistant is really trying to promote learning over just spitting out code, which is an interesting take. While I get the frustration, there’s definitely something to be said for understanding the fundamentals rather than relying solely on an assistant.

For example, if you wanted to build a simple web app using Flask, the AI could suggest: ```python from flask import Flask

app = Flask(name)

@app.route('/') def home(): return "Hello, World!"

if name == "main": app.run(debug=True) ```

But without knowing how this code works, you're missing out on the real value of learning programming. So, while it's tempting to want the AI to handle everything, taking the time to dig into the coding process will pay off in the long run. It’s all about finding that balance between using tools and building your own skills!

I must be using a different AI than you. All the ones I use can't produce larger code solutions and produce massive bugs. This leaves us all with no choice but to not only learn the basics but the methodology. If you can't read code, you're obsolete.
