What do you do to learn new programming construct? What did you do to learn programming - didn't you write

  #include <stdio.h>

  int main() {

    printf("Hello World");
    return 0;
  }
while having no idea what 'stdio.h' is?

Choosing not to know what stdio.h means is willful ignorance, an LLM has little to do with said chosen ignorance, that is a choice because "hey it works on machine!" and when I pushed it, nobody seemed to mind.

What a time to be alive. Actively choosing to rebuke knowledge because "what the fuck does it matter anyways"

no. it was the first question I asked and was given a satisfactory explanation (along the lines of, "this adds things to your program that help it write text to the screen.")
