Nobody code anymore!!

Before the rise of AI, developers were basically doing copy/paste from StackOverflow. There are few developers who knows how to code.

Even DevOps engineer, I worked with CI/CD "specialist" who couldn't work for sht, if you asked him anything outside StackOverflow, he couldn't answer.

But there is a silver line for everything.....

I am not a developer but I learned to code with Perplexity AI, but not copy/paste, anything I didn't understand I asked it to explain why.

I wrote my first python app with classes, functions, 94% code quality coverade, the mock unittest was 4x bigger than the actual code. I can start a python script from scratch without looking at my own examples.

I would never be able to do that within a few weeks by looking at forums that often have worse response than AI hallucination.
