If you come with a complex problem to an experienced coder, he will ask you a lot strange questions.

He doesn't just want to spit out the code you requested, but to understand the core problem.

Usually those questions will annoy you. It will make your problem uglier and dirtier than you thought and will ruin the beautiful solution you have in mind. But that approach gives you the chance to get you a real solution.

The AI doesn't ask you all those pesky questions. It doesn't want to understand the problem and just spits out code.

I understand the appeal of that ... and the risks.

@masek@infosec.exchange thank you for changing "he" to "they". It's what I was waiting/hoping for to boost the message.

@BernhardHofmann@mastodonapp.uk Luckily one has friends who graciously point out mistake one makes πŸ˜‰πŸ˜‰.

Didn't put much thought into this post initially: I just wanted to sum up a discussion from a different place.

As is the nature of such posts, it went big.
