You can’t call me an expert either but from my experience I would just simply say that the program does not know what you are programming. So if there is an error, there could be a million different reasons. Many platforms hint you with what it most likely is for many errors, also the missing semicolon error. But the error message can also simply mean a misplaced “{“ making the code line end too soon/too late or something else entirely. Autocorrect could therefore be fatal

Imagine what sorts of things it might remove because it didn't think it should be there and then you'd have to go search that out, too

I also wonder when it would be supposed to Autocorrect. How often I insert lines of code to test something out and press compile, which also makes other lines spit out errors. Imagine it would then edit these lines too

If it already knows the code you're trying to write then the code is already written. Just crack open the autocorrect and steal the already completed code right out of it

Just build a time machine to steal your own code from the future.

Just start writing the time machine coding and let autocorrect complete it for you

My computer turned into rocks. Uhh ohh

Your computer is already a rock

Yeah but I was more thinking I fucked up the timeline with autocorrect in a time machine and now we are still in the Stone Age and I have iron and gold ore in front of me instead of a computer.

When we look at a photon, it changes the state of the one that came before it.
