People keep saying this but it’s just wrong.

Maybe I haven’t tried the language you have but it’s pretty damn good at code.

Granted, whatever it puts out needs to be tested and possibly edited but that’s the same thing we had to do with Stack Overflow answers.

I use it all the time and it's brilliant when you put in the basic effort to learn how to use it effectively.

It's allowing me and other open source devs to increase the scope and speed of our contributions, just talking through problems is invaluable. Greedy selfish people wanting to destroy things that help so many is exactly the rolling coal mentality - fuck everyone else I don't want the world to change around me! Makes me so despondent about the future of humanity.
