Thanks, dropped then a message about t shirt possibilities

Need a t-shirt with one of those rainbow chameleons on, they are very cute!

I’ve been coding for like… 25 years, mostly professionally.

I’ve been learning game development on and off for years and just started with Godot and c#. I use deepseek and chatgpt sometimes because I know what I want to do just not the best syntax to do it (and throw in having to avoid dynamic stuff for iOS’ AoT compiler)

Both frequently forget the language, library, task or context. Context is ok, but asking for how to do X in Y and it gives you an answer predicated on using Z (which l, due to unfamiliarity you don’t find out until after starting to implement it) sucks.

I get a slightly easier day when it works. But I’ve lost days of time to it fucking with me. Eventually you become so wary that it really is just a glorified search engine now. I tell it show me X and only the code, that seems to be the fastest way to get what I need and confirm it’s not hallucinating a different environment or whatever.

People with less experience in general will suffer far worse because those pitfalls won’t be obvious to them.

GPT got worse with the most recent update, answers ignore large chunks of the prompt and as they distill further I think that will get worse.

Tl;Dr AI isn’t very good at programming and seems to have gotten worse (at least with specific questions Vs general ones)

I always thought it had 2 heads and he smashed one head (the other remained). Oh well, have to rewatch them all…

Let’s just sit here and think about the sheer volume of things to do and all the possible paths we have to get them done… until eventually there is only time for the panic path left. Perfect.
