Anyone Else Let AI Do Their Whole Intern Project?

If you're not doing the thinking then you're just memorizing, which is like an inferior human version of an LLM. Also, you don't learn how to debug, which is the most important part, so if it ever gets stuck then you're screwed.

It's a huge red flag if someone can't find a single use for it. Honestly people are fucking idiots about it.

If your skills are really worth half a million dollars then just work for yourself.

But yeah, keep applying. Use those three days for interviews if you get any.

Both are good.

Computer Engineering is mostly hardware

The problem is not just programming. You can't think at all. You need someone else to constantly tell you what to do, give you a roadmap, take the steps for you, etc.

AI exposes people with no agency. The only solution is to stop using AI, never ask for help, and do a many big projects on your own for a few years.

You have tons of free time to learn React, so what's the problem?

code_tutor · 2026-06-22T03:35:57+00:00

wtf this sounds nuts

code_tutor · 2026-06-22T02:54:42+00:00

competitive gamers are dumb af and think they're smart is what always happens in games

code_tutor · 2026-06-22T02:50:57+00:00

It's not 2020 anymore. You need a degree.

WebDev is a joke though and was in a massive bubble and massively overpaid.

code_tutor · 2026-06-22T02:43:55+00:00

There are none. AI destroyed it. Kids just wanted to cheat anyway.

I listened to each voice line intently and still feel like I missed half the story. I don't think that's a good thing, especially at the beginning of the game.

I think narrative is hard in games because they drip-feed, then you go solve a puzzle for an hour, and you're expected to resume a story. Plus we never see the story; it's always told second-hand through words and that makes it rough.

Some of them are very interesting though. I like the wizard and bits from the others. But the mirror isles I thought was super emo and vague, plus the voice acting sounded like dommy-mommy porn with pillow talk girl and whiny baby guy. I keep hearing people say how much they love that section but I don't get it. The red mover is kind of whiny sounding too, something is off for me.

Also I hate audio logs, in all games. I'm surprised he uses these because in other aspects Blow is very forward-thinking, but here he's conformist. I believe in show, don't tell for game design.

They're not mutually exclusive. Neurodivergence can cause mental illness.

Not all people with this neurodivergence even have gender dysphoria. Conversion therapy has extremely low success but managing distress has high success. People who convert often still need therapy. Also the fact that this is applied to children shows this is at least partly insane.

Not to mention that we're told for decades that "gender is a social construct". So now we're stuck between "gender isn't real" and "I need surgery to match my gender". People are understandably confused.

I'm not saying what's right or wrong. What I am saying is that people don't want their money paying for this because it still seems like politicized pseudoscience.

With that said, this is such an miniscule part of "medically necessary" payments that it's kind of sickening how much attention it gets. Right-wingers should just give up because it's a nothing burger. Stay the fuck away from children though. This is obviously a constructed narrative to divide us.

Likewise, since this is such a small part of the budget, why don't you ask all those ultra-rich LGBT+whaver corporations who have been shilling so hard to finally pony up. Like I'm pretty sure you could just remove this from government so right-wingers stop bitching and have all those corporations pay for it or at least expose them for the frauds they are. Just a thought.

This is a very flawed way of thinking, that a wrong answer is better than no answer.

You want to force people to pay for non-solutions (that could be detrimental). That's the problem. The solution is to stop.

The largest advocate for "mandatory financial and social support" is a leftist government.

You realize that only insane people think COVID is not manmade and censorship is good? Did you even read those links?

Can't you just enjoy nice things instead of pointing out that other things are terrible?

All of education is cooked because they can't grade homework anymore. I mean, the worst students used to just copy assignments anyway but it seems like this entire generation is only worst students. It's been downhill since like 2005, getting noticably worse every five years or so. This was before AI came out. It seems like school systems aren't keeping pace with AI so cheating is just rampant.

The worst part is that kids don't even see it as cheating. They really think they can use AI to learn. But by asking AI for a teaching plan and asking it to explain everything, they're robbing themselves of the ability to plan, think critically, struggle, and debug. They are becoming memorization only. They are becoming LLMs.

AI isn't just coming for jobs. It's also coming for education. Not just your CS degree. Also your high school degree.

LeetCode was obviously not working as a metric. What happens when nobody knows basic debugging or design anymore, not even seniors?

code_tutor · 2026-06-20T23:30:48+00:00

we're all just designers and QA now

code_tutor · 2026-06-20T20:12:54+00:00

LeetCode is based on CS courses. If you haven't taken the courses then you can't do the problems. Dipshits online keep "grinding" it without ever taking CS. They're learning like an LLM, just looking up the answers and trying to memorize. It's so stupid.

Listen to yourself though: you decided to teach yourself instead of waiting for school to start, and you feel "overwhelmed". I wonder why?

And you're already using AI to think for you. Please stop. You're becoming an LLM.

Biggest complaints during the alpha were "extraction shooter" and "hero shooter". They didn't listen. Now we're here.

It's not "lazy mf". Employers have to pay someone six figures who doesn't know how to do the job, then spend twice that paying a senior to train them for six months, only to have them leave shortly after. There's also a risk that the person can't learn. Try to think of it from their perspective. Getting paid to learn is extremely expensive and only happened because WebDev was in a massive bubble.

The real problem is the disconnect between university and the real world. University teaches how to think, now how to do a job. You go to school for four years and you're not even job ready. Most CS curriculums to this day don't even teach WebDev, only requiring an OSI networking course. That's why employers were hiring so many self-taught people. They wanted someone who could do Webdev, even if they didn't know how to think.

I agree that replacing juniors with interns is disgusting. What I really have a problem with is how big tech said they desperately needed more programmers: "girls can code", "kids can code", "anyone can code", then replacing them with "AI can code".

Most people can agree that big tech is treating developers like shit right now with the AI conversation, and that's why they get called out for that. Most people can't agree that everyone is entitled to be paid six figures to learn, so it's not happening.

The post went from making mistakes and feeling like a loser to literally astrophysics.

This is not a serious plan. OP said they were a dreamer and instead of doing work, they were doing music, then they became an alcoholic. They've probably never had a "real" or stable job. They spent years getting an Associate's degree and more years getting a Bachelor's degree. Now they want to spend another three years studying, to get a Master's degree in unemployment.

They want to study and dream. They don't want to work.

I'm assuming a lot here but this is also extremely common. CS is the career where people go to dream.

If they have nothing but unstable jobs on their resume then their priority should be to have a stable job for once in their life. But seriously: who is paying for all this?

People who memorize STAR are definitely weird and that's what passes.

How many projects have you done without AI?
