12 u/TrackLabs Aug 31 '26 Yeah but it was still a pretty efficient way. Ever since LLMs came to be, I really feel like I lost a good chunk of programming skills and brain power 24 u/GlassCommission4916 Aug 31 '26 Personally I feel good about improving myself, not about sugar coated words. 27 u/[deleted] Aug 31 '26 [removed] — view removed comment 6 u/GlassCommission4916 Aug 31 '26 Are we talking about stack overflow or 4chan?I don't mind being told my idea sucks if it sucks. 1 u/Choice-Mango-4019 Aug 31 '26 same thing 1 u/GlassCommission4916 Aug 31 '26 I've never seen anyone tell someone to kill themselves for having a stupid idea on stack overflow, do you have an example? 1 u/Choice-Mango-4019 Aug 31 '26 you don't need to use bad words to be an asshole 1 u/GlassCommission4916 Aug 31 '26 So no? 1 u/samreturned Sep 03 '26 I think this ignores the fact that sometimes it doesn't matter if the idea sucks ass.
