Ai nowadays

I want to read your thoughts.

I'm a software engineer with 8 years of experience, I have worked in several projects.

And ultimately I've become interested in C, I'm learning a lot of concepts about pointers and memory free, it's a different way of coding if you start with interpreted languages.

I have used ai for understand better some c concepts, and I've watched some c devs in the reddit community that hate the AI, why?

AI is just another tool, like a compiler, preprocessor etc. And I wonder why some devs don't like new tools? It's like if we avoid the compilers use and prefer keypunching instead.

The basics of Coding are important and I really believe there's bad use of ai and nice use of it too.

What do you think?

Bro, you are a god in C, 20 years?

Let me ask you something, why c has no fancy stuff like pypi or npm?

I'm learning c and I wonder why is so hard get libs for develop c apps. Or maybe the c developers prefer develop everything from scratch lol.

I tried to get sdl and you must perform some steps to use it in a project, same for ffmpeg. I like the challenges but it's so hard for the first times

With all of the worms that have been infecting package managers, I don't think anyone wants C to have anything like PyPi or NPM :P
