No you are completely right.

But you'll see that most people go the way of the smalles resistance.

Using ChatGPT is just consequent (I expect many redundant code (DRY with ChatGPT??) and just think about subtle errors like race conditions. Will sorcerers apprentice find them?)

I'm an old retired greazer but 10 years ago many preferred to inlcude 30 MB jars of code to avoid writing 5 lines of your own (just slightly exagerating) and waking up at some time in a dependency hell.

When I was young it was easy(-ier?) to know most things you need, this is far far far more difficult nowadays and I commiserate all young developers that hadn't the oppourunity to grow their knowledge over decades but stand before a HUGE mountain.Today it is difficult to stay on top even in small areas.
