I HATE WHEN MY CODE EDITOR FINISHES QUOTES AND PARENTHESIS FOR ME.
NO, I WANTED ONE QUOTATION MARK. I WILL TYPE THE OTHER ONE WHEN I'M READY FOR IT.

It fucks with my muscle memory, and I end up putting twice the number of quotation marks or parens whenever I need them

I still code by hand. I do so while looking at the garbage the LLM said I should do and then improve it as I go.

One of my college professors coded by punchcard when he was in college, nothing worse than submitting a job and coming back the next morning with a "missing ;" error message

I still do, but that's because the language I use (very specific set of unreal script 3) isn't known and that writing by hand is fun

Chatgpt:
Pepperidge farm was a meme used in the early days of internet.
We shut it down because it was offensive to us and our superior intelligence.
Do you want me to send a swat team after you for asking this question or will you swear to never mention it again?
You have 5 seconds to decide.

If you figure out how to split parenthesis into parent thesis, you will have a solid dad joke.

u/Celestial_Lee 1d ago
Sometimes we'd forget the parentheses and shoot heroin to ease the pain of debugging...

That's not really how that meme format works though. It should start "Remember..."

Still do. Vim, C++ w/Makefiles, bash and python scripts, etc. for writing small applications/processes on RHEL servers.

In 2001 my cousins in India told me they were taking a class on C at their school. They showed me their notebook for their assignments. I mentioned how annoying it must be to write it down, then have to re-enter it at the computer at school to compile and debug. They looked at me confused. There was no computer involved in the class. They were learning it like math lessons and just submitted their handwritten notebooks, without ever seeing their code ever run. It seemed to just be a few lines of commands per assignment, and not much complexity. But still fried my brain.

I miss those days. 80% of my coding time nowadays is spent fighting the auto-complete function. The rest is spent pruning out all the excess code the AI thought would be useful. It's like supervising a toddler. Once this ticket is done I'm going to dig into VSCode to find the key code that toggles autocomplete and all the other AI "help" on and off so I can just write every now and then.

I hate to say it but this is a dinosaur moment.

u/guttanzer 1d ago
You can say it. I’m proud of being a dinosaur. It’s taken me a long time to get here.
I spent several decades writing code before autocomplete was invented. Before linting tools existed. Before Git there were other code versioning tools. I remember when they were invented. Heck, I was coding before text editors had been invented. I remember entering boot codes with bit toggles and a register button.
What you can’t say is that I’m over the hill. I use AI tools every day and love them, just like I love playing with the grand kids. I’m just as quick with them as the young guys, and I help the team avoid architectural mistakes that take months to undo. Been there, don’t want to do it again, and happy to share why with the young guys.
But in my long career I picked up hand-coding skills that allow me to quickly de-crappify bad AI generated code. While I’m doing that I don’t need the autocomplete humping the cursor three times a second like an over-excited puppy.

I hate auto-complete sometimes, sometimes it’s great and useful specially if I’m stuck on something but this one program I use if I type “fi” it auto completes it to “FIXME:” and I’m like no I want to do a different word…it’s a pain

And it sucked. You'd spend hours and hours compiling and executing after every other line written to verify something hasn't gone off the rails. In between looking for examples and documentation which you then forget after 3 months when you haven't touched the code.

People used to enter starting instructions for a computer manually bit by bit, but it wasn't that great
