I use that occasionally but only like 2-3 times a year now. I use my bank’s app primarily just because it’s a fast dedicated way to check my balance. But I’d use the web app if I needed to for some reason

I don’t understand the banking comment, and I’ve seen it several times. Don’t other people’s banks have web portals? Other than maybe depositing a check remotely, are there features you actually need a native banking app for?

Gonna go cry myself to sleep now. I feel so inferior

shitty devs are enabled by shitty tools.

No, shitty devs are enabled by piss-poor hiring practices. I’m currently working with two devs that submit mind bogglingly bad PRs all of the time, and it’s 100% because we hired them in a hasty manner and overlooking issues they displayed during interviews.

Neither of these bad devs use AI to my knowledge. On the other hand I use copilot constantly and the only difference I see in my work is that it takes me less time to complete a given task. It shaves 1-2 minutes off of writing a block/function several times an hour, and that is a good thing.

Copilot produces useful and correct code for me 5 days a week. I’m sorry you don’t see the same benefits.

I think you nailed it with everything you just said.

Okay, so if the tool seems counterproductive for you, it’s very assuming to generalize that and assume it’s the same for everyone else too. I definitely do not have that experience.

Using a tool to speed up your work is not lazy. Using a tool stupidly is stupid. Anyone who thinks these tools are meant to replace humans using logic is misunderstanding them entirely.

You remind me of some of my coworkers who would rather do the same mind numbing task for hours every day rather than write a script that handles it. I judge them for thinking working smarter is “lazy” and I think it’s a fair judgement. I see them as the lazy ones. They’d rather not think more deeply about the scripting aspect because it’s hard. They rather zone out and mindlessly click, copy/paste, etc. I’d rather analyze and break down the problem so I can solve it once and then move onto something more interesting to solve.

This user certainly was looking to belittle me and my point, I simply told them I don’t care about their game of “winning” the argument through being shitty. I wouldn’t have described my comment the way you just did, at all.

I would argue that it’s obvious if someone doesn’t know how to use a tool to do their job, they aren’t great at their job to begin with.

Your argument is to blame the tool and excuse the person who is awful with the tool.

Wow, this was somehow considered offensive enough for a mod to remove, but we’re also allowing obvious paid trolls on the platform. Lemmy is not what we want it to be.

I could request a new one, but why?

Gives excellent argument for requesting a new one:

slow as all hell.
