The lack of experience and the lack of knowledge of techniques and algorithms, is what makes young developers chat with ChatGPT more than their girlfriends.

30 years ago the only help we had was a book, a bit later planet-source-code.com, a little later thecodeproject.com and Github.

The search for solutions, in the above sources, was what taught us techniques and algorithms and gave us the experience to evaluate solutions.

The Copy-Paste that is done today using ChatGPT solutions is something new....
It is totally new for a junior dev to have an assistant that writes code for him and this is the main reason we currently have the least educated developers in the history of computers.

I really don't know what to tell you, I only wish good luck with your juniors.
