For me C::B is quiet stable and runs for days without any issue. Just wanted to post this since I feel there is unjust criticism.
Same for me. Only problem I've found was that with the symbols browser. Other than that, it's been great.
Generative AI is just a tool now, it is up to the user to use it properly. In my very limited experience, I think code generation via AI is just like an enhanced wizard, user can adapt it to the requirements and for maintainability, basically using it just as a starting point. There is no point in hating generative AI imho.
On the flip side it can save allot of time with doing boilerplate stuff and simple bug fixes.
Absolutely. That is reasonable use. Not what I criticized. And I don't "hate" it, but, I don't love it either. It's unethical at a fundamental level -- all the data collection and how it's used. And things of that sort have caused a lot of damage already.
Snippets, scaffolding, code generators, things like that, have existed since forever. Thing is, really it should be limited in scope (everything must be limited in scope.) Interestingly, instructing a bot in a detailed manner, generating code, copying and pasting, making corrections and changes and testing could quickly become a boring process as well. But there are some among us who appreciate the process as it's always been, in its entirety; the creative process. Including creative ways of dealing with repetitive tasks.
Because of our nature, these things tend to attract or encourage stupidity and laziness. Programmers of (true) open source projects should know better. To have standards other than convenience and productivity and popularity. Many open source projects wouldn't even exist, were those the only standards. We should just use Micro$oft Open SourceTM ProjectsTM. Convenient, and productive indeed. Or imitate them, try to compete with them, in terms of convenience and productivity. And we should avoid C++ and such: more convenient and productive and popular languages exist, like Python or what our friend mentioned above.
And so we see people mentioning that garbage, and encouraging others to use it, showing how convenient, how amazing, how powerful, and how it can be used for everything. Easily impressionable morons. And lazy idiots without standards. It's disgusting.
