Thread 106508742

I'm relatively new to coding and I just ask ChatGPT for help constantly. For some of the shit I'm doing I have no idea how I would have found the related solution without the help of ChatGPT.

You in 2015:
>Can I even call myself a programmer?
>I'm relatively new to coding and I just ask Stack Overflow for help constantly. For some of the shit I'm doing I have no idea how I would have found the related solution without the help of Stack Overflow.
The answer in both cases is a resounding "no". You have no right to call yourself a programmer until you've implemented your own compiler at the very least

that's vibe coding
chatgpt helped me make this program so I can easily adjust the max boost frequency (hot laptop)

True true a real programmer is not someone who can program but someone who can significantly impact the world with his skill. Making a compiler or an OS is a start

just install cursor and embrace being a vibe coder if you don't care or learn some friggin skills

Ask chatGPT to teach you how to program instead.
If you can't program on your own, you can't debug on your own, and if you can't debug on your own, you can't see when chatGPT fucked it up (and it will fuck it up).
Right now you're getting the fuck ups that are simple to see, like just shit that don't compile or obviously break the code, but the "barely working code" will accumulate the more you do a bigger project until it's all fucked and you have no way out of it.

Not really, since a real programmer should actually understand what he does rather than just write code with the assistance of LLMs all the time. You are more like a coder, not the most advanced one.
