Hate or rage? That’s absolutely silly. I’m a computer scientist and I value actual skill.

I mean do a little thought experiment. If there was a dude who followed me around everywhere and I could always ask him for code-based solutions to things, and he gives them to me, am I coding? Have I actually done anything?

You could argue that the system of he and I were accomplishing something together but the problem with that logic is that if you removed me from the system, as a middleman, you’re left with someone who still did the work. In that particular system I add absolutely nothing, therefor I’m not actually a part that is of any real use.

If the box is handing you the answers to things you don’t know how to do then guess what - you still don’t know how to do those things. Eventually you get into a position where you have a product that you can no longer properly understand, debug, or make any real use out of.

I think the real tell here is how sensitive you are if anybody calls you out on your b******* and even the smallest way. Have a nice day :-).
