It's not really that cool to get a bot to do this work for you, anybody can ask for that assuming they have the tokens to burn.

I could write a well crafted reply, with a convincing argument, but why bother? You're just trolling. The whole anti AI coding thing is such a meme. I suppose you'd like to spend all the time it would take to reverse engineer a classic NES game by hand? Go familiarize yourself with 6502 assembly and everything else you'd need to know?
I would rather read a write up of someone doing just that. This exact thing has been done many times now and no one is really learning or demonstrating anything new. It is cool, insofar as AI tools are capable of reverse-engineering, mechanical translation, and automatic verification, but it is no longer _novel_ and borders on spam.
Yes, that is exactly the fun, not contracting someone else to do it.
You are free to do so. Have fun!
I certainly am, only pointing out the comments vibe.
When someone commissions a painting, or a sculpture, they might cut the ribbon that holds the curtain on the opening day, that is all.
What if you've already played that game many other times during your 15 year long career? I mean the "game" of learning the ins and outs of a technical subtopic. And you know you could spend months ramping up on another thing just to see an idea take shape, but you only have limited resources in your life, a full time job, and so forth. And you'd still like to see an idea become a reality regardless of all that. So I guess that's not real work and it's cheating and it doesn't have value?
I mean, if you insist on doing everything by hand, go right ahead.
Afterthoughts: I really just don't get why people are so weird about this AI coding thing. What difference does it make to you if someone thinks they have more to learn from high-level planning work than from low-level coding work? A lot of the time, I get the vibe from people who talk this way that they are still early on in their career and think they have to prove their coding chops. I think that's why people like Linus Torvalds couldn't give a shit if people use AI or not, as long as it's not slop and suits its purpose. If you've already spent over a decade writing code and savoring the process, maybe you're just getting a little tired of it. And maybe agonizing over code perfection even drives you slightly insane sometimes. Who the f*** knows? In any case, it's none of your business. I don't know why I'm even writing all this. Because I know you'll just come back with the same old tired gatekeeping non-arguments.
There is some quite tasty microwave food, it doesn't make the person into a proper cook, not even an aspiring chef.
“It’s not really that cool” they said on hacker news.
Long standing account freaks out about latest GenAI/green account making vapid statement? Where are you going here?
I’m going to sleep actually. Goodnight
