I do the same, kind of but I paste them in word and format them nicely, based on my mood. Today I made a very nice initial of my npm publish command, it looks really nice.

The underlying problem is the same, it just became more accessible to copy code you don’t understand (you don’t even need to come up with a search query that leads you to some kind of answer, chatpgt will interpret your words and come up with something). Proper use of chatgpt can boost productivity, but people (both critics of chatgpt and people who don’t actually know how to code) misuse it, look at it as a “magic solution box” instead of a tool that can assist development and lead you to solutions.

I don’t know, I find that in Lemmy I can have better discussions than on Reddit. It isn’t the same as Reddit ~5-6 years ago but it’s definitely better than post-apicalypse Reddit, or maybe even post-covid years.

When streaming first came in I finally stopped pirating and felt a little bit better about myself. A couple years passed and I’m back to pirating, even built a Plex media server in the meantime.
