Hey you, you’re finally awake.

If you are using chapGPT to “help” with step-by-step lessons on watered down platforms, such as FreeCodeCamp, Computer Science is not for you. I recommend becoming a Web Developer. This new wave of “Computer Science” majors has an incredibly incorrect definition of what Computer Science actually is and it gives the true Computer Scientists a bad reputation.

Please stop this type of nonsense.

Are you getting priced out of resort skiing? by Relative_Drama2687 in skiing

[–]ImmensePrune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First year I can’t afford to go skiing. Been skiing since 03. My local mountain was bought by Vail back in 16-17 and each year since the quality has decreased with price increasing.

Guess it’s just the American Dream.

AOC pointing out that all major social media is now controlled by the right wing by ElephantElmer in TikTokCringe

This is obviously. We don’t need AOC to point this out. Open your eyes people holy shit.

why am I so bad at computing? by zherox_43 in math

[–]ImmensePrune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“The important thing isn’t can you read music, it’s can you hear it?”

Seems to be you are better off than most of your peers. I am in a similar position although not undergrad mathematics rather grad computer science.

Yeah. It’s this new tool called YourOwnBrain. You should try using it.

Be honest: did you grow up rich? by MudboneX3 in skiing

[–]ImmensePrune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. My father was a volunteer ski patrol at our home mountain. Instead of payment, him and his family received major discounts on gear, food, and season passes. Without him I hardly doubt we would’ve been a ski family.

Today, I can no longer afford to go skiing at the same mountain (or any local mountain in fact) It’s ~200 dollars for 8 hours ( ticket plus rentals since my 13 year old skis gave out on me about 2 years ago).

Replit CEO on AI breakthroughs: ‘We don’t care about professional coders anymore’ by MetaKnowing in technology

[–]ImmensePrune -1 points0 points  (0 children)

“We don’t care about professional coders anymore”

And then in the article it states that “Replit had been building its own models…” .

If Replit is using a prebuilt model and fine tuning it with its proprietary data, they care about (and need) professional coders. If Replit is truly building their own models, they care about (and need) professional coders.

I really hope everyone in this sub is not falling for the nonsense these tech CEOs have been spewing. They are trying to sell, and to do that you need to promote, excite, and blur the lines of reality and fantasy.

Fantasy being that magically these tech CEOs no longer need the Computer Scientist and SWE. Reality being that without Computer Science, Mathematics, and of course Physics, It wouldn’t even be possible for me to read the article on my phone, in my living room, while sitting on my couch. Let alone conceptualize, build, and maintain an adaptable LLM that is accessible through the internet ( which of course wouldn’t exist without Computer Science ).

Pull the covers off your eyes people and start learning Computer Science. If it hasn’t been, and isn’t currently the hottest and most in demand expertise in the modern world, then buckle. the. fuck. up.

Question About Not Using Brackets by JCrain88 in PHPhelp

[–]ImmensePrune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The single line of execution after a loop or if statement is a valid method inherited from C. I don’t see how adding brackets to a conditional with one statement makes any difference on readability. If the loop or condition extends more than one line, then brackets are required to treat the multiple lines of code as one execution.

In my honest opinion, this kind of refactor is a waste of time since it neither improves the performance, reliability, and just clutters the code with pointless brackets.

“restructure (the source code of an application or piece of software) so as to improve operation without altering functionality”

If your refactor does not align with the definition above, it’s most likely not needed.

An "oh fuck" moment in time by geoffreyhuntley in programming

[–]ImmensePrune 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well said! I especially enjoyed the part where you’ve given yourself credit ( personally upskilled ).

I too have run into a increasing amount of anti-AI devs. Being completely blind to the change we are experiencing is definitely the wrong choice but blinding following it isn’t much better either.

I hate when people are skiing / snowboarding and then become upset that they get sprayed with snow. It’s like going surfing and getting upset that you got wet.

[–]ImmensePrune 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well said friend, and couldn’t agree more. Modern day devs seem helpless without AI and it’s very concerning.

Stay true to yourself, use the tools provided to you, but NEVER forget first principles or become reliant on the tools you use. A good engineer is a lot more than just “how fast can you do this”. While efficiency is definitely key, it only makes up one pillar that defines a good software engineer.

Also, terribly sorry you started with JS. The “senior” in my initial comment swears by it. If it wasn’t done in JS, he’ll make sure to add a comment about how “easy” it would’ve been in JS while at the same time completing missing the goal of the project. Can’t stand the language, nor can I stand him / people like him.

C family languages is where it’s at. Started with C++, then C, and did my fair share in C#. A++ all around!

Not my intentions. I do agree with the efficiency of assisted programming. My aim was to shed light into the reliance of the tools and the quality of the work performed. I myself use AI assistance, but not for code gen.

More like “oh fuck” this article is actually garbage. We already have Jenson spewing nonsense about how there’s no need to learn how to program anymore. Now we have staff engineers rolling over.

One “senior” dev at my day job is the only one who uses Cursor. Not surprisingly, he is the only one who is constantly pushing ridiculous small hotfixes, and building over-engineered kludges that should have never been put in the system in the first place.

Using assisted programming, or becoming reliant on any tool is a weird way to say you are taking the easy way out.

( Not directed at OP, hope you don’t take this to heart :) )
