  Sometimes there are better methods to implement something, and we can learn from others’ mistakes without having to make them ourselves

    How would chatgpt streamline that any better than other documentation and skimming things like programming blogs and stackoverflow?

      “skimming things like programming blogs and stackoverflow”

      Like this commenter claims he doesn’t do?

    Isn’t this why we use external libraries?

    Learning the proper way to do things has nothing to do with being smart. I don’t think I’m smarter than my peers, I just have a longer attention span (thanks adderall!)

      Yeah I don’t buy it. I don’t think I’ve ever once used documentation so good I didn’t need to use a search engine at some point. Kind of odd you pretend you never use one lol… You and all the downvoters seem to have some kind of strange complex where you need to feel superior

        I don’t get how you could think that’s what I meant. Every person with an internet connection uses a search engine. I use search engines to find relevant documentation. I assumed that went without saying.

    This comment says a hell of a lot more about you than the other person here.

      The fact that you people pretend to only use documentation like some elitist boyscouts actually does say something about you.

      I don’t believe you, you’re lying, you just want to seem smart. I don’t give a flying fuck if random Internet people think I’m smart or whatever the hell else you’re suggesting. Just flat don’t care. I know there is nothing wrong with using search engines and stack overflow and that we all do it. Pretty weird you all pretend otherwise. Kind of sad really that your ego requires this of you.

  I’ve always, always been a intuition only guy. Meaning I almost never use any thing other than blind guessing on how languages and libraries work. I genuinely don’t feel I’m missing out on anything, my farts already smell better than the rest of my peers and I just don’t feel the need to learn the modern tools of my trade.
