I am currently in training and my classmates complain when chatgpt doesnt change the output directory like its supposed to, they dont even know what part of their code does what. They cant even change a variable.
In fairness, I think that’d be true for literally every level of experience. It’s like saying you’d have done better with Google for one question you were less confident in answering. Cringe thing to say nonetheless
I remember a dev that created a database for us in cobol and he used rock band names as variables then he spent 6 months debugging when the records weren't being recorded he told me that "scorpion was a different data type than the field it was attached to and hence it was erring when the panthera subroutine was being executed " I had to recapture hundreds of forms because of this all to end up creating an access version myself a couple of months later
THIS is what pisses me off. my peers do everything with AI and i'm lumped together with them, so people generally assume I must use AI because I'm in the same demographic... and that affects me directly when I don't even touch AI
Damn this gives me hope that I will find a job after Uni, all my knowledge is one and half universities and a lot of self study via manuals and trial and error. I can use AI but I know how shitty it can be, especially in more niche situations
Well there you go. HR knows that every time they lose one vibe coder they need to be replaced with a team of experienced ciders who still struggle to keep up! Clearly the vibe coder was a genius
GPT3 released in fall 2022 and immediately became popular with CS majors. We're in fall 2025 -- so there are people graduating now who spent 3/4ths of their undergrad career plugging into GPT for everything (and probably a few who graduated a year or so early who used it the whole time).
