That’s not true at all LOL. Stack Overflow is my #1 visited site at work, and any good programmer uses it. Computer programs are inherently unique, so you can’t just copy entire file directories from SO, but any time I’m trying to do something and I don’t know how, I look it up. Chances are I’ll be able to find an answer with code samples from SO that I can copy into my program and tweak/customize to get working. It’s not plagiarism, it’s knowledge sharing. Taking an entire program and source code is plagiarism (all SO code falls under a version of the Creative Commons License, if you’re curious you can look it up), but a function or handful of lines isn’t unique IP, it’s a way the language provides to accomplish one specific coding task.

I use it too and answer questions from time to time, but the longer I've been programming the more I find many SO answers are now out of date or subtly (or completely) wrong. I have nothing against understanding a SO solution, but lots of people will copy-paste code verbatim without thinking and then ask why it doesn't work.

Oh nice, it is good that you took help from chatGPT.

LLMs are not designed to produce correct output, just realistic sounding sentences which may or may not be correct. SO has a huge issue with garbage AI answers flooding the site because they are written with the ill-placed confidence of a language model.

I use LLMs a lot in my daily life. Only in the topics I have a bit versed in. It enhances my thought process and saves time. It is bad in writing code, that I agree on.

As I’ve said, they’re actually quite good at writing code, but you need to already know how to code and be able to debug and troubleshoot for anything a bit more complex.

This is why SO has placed a ban on AI-generated answers. SO is endlessly helpful to someone who already knows how to program, but I agree you can’t just copy paste source code that you don’t understand and expect it to work

That's just as bad. Maybe it doesn't matter for a personal project but that kinda thing can get you into huge trouble at work.

and here we are at the end of 2025 and I'm working full time in a corporation with clients spread over 5 countries, developing a vehicle tracking system interface that is written and mantained entirely using AI prompts (Amazon Q).

keep doing things as you think is better but please don't preach as if it is the only and universal true

the world keep moving forward, it's time to admit when you're outdated

if you're just bad at writing prompts don't assume others can't work professionaly with a technology in assension

Wow, I feel bad for your company

Im having to learn AI too, can't fall behind. My dad works at UCLA (a universit6 in the usa) and they are having cnstantly be on their toes looking fot new AI tools.
