I have a coworker who is essentially building a custom program in Sheets using AppScript, and has been using CGPT/Gemini the whole way.

While this person has a basic grasp of the fundamentals, there's a lot of missing information that gets filled in by the bots. Ultimately after enough fiddling, it will spit out usable code that works how it's supposed to, but honestly it ends up taking significantly longer to guide the bot into making just the right solution for a given problem. Not to mention the code is just a mess - even though it works there's no real consistency since it's built across prompts.

I'm confident that in this case and likely in plenty of other cases like it, the amount of time it takes to learn how to ask the bot the right questions in totality would be better spent just reading the documentation for whatever language is being used. At that point it might be worth it to spit out simple code that can be easily debugged.

Ultimately, it just feels like you're offloading complexity from one layer to the next, and in so doing quickly acquiring tech debt.

It makes very good food (mostly meat) and due to above observation many sous vide recipes call for a quick sear at the end of cook time.

Ideally it's done with specific bags designed to be used at high temperature, even if the temperatures aren't as high as oven temps.

Sandboxes are literally grounds for infinite creativity. Just look at The Lego Movie. No, if there's an issue with this movie it's that they aren't using the sandbox to its full potential, at least as far as our initial impressions can tell us. We have all seen every single one of the story beats shown in the trailer before in other movies.

I came to the conclusion that it was a delightful meringue

The system leaves us with a binary choice. Even the third "option" of inaction is essentially leaving it up to fate at best, and at worst is just handing the controls over.

The room you're in is sealed, filling with water, and you can access a snorkel or a fire hydrant.

In this instance, the moderators specifically refused to be fact checkers and declared that fact checking would be left to the candidates. It was a bit of a missed opportunity that Biden didn't refute more of Trump's falsehoods.

I'm afraid all we can say for sure is that it's not a caterpillar.

Super fun, pardner. That horse is looking a little sparse, though. Maybe you could draw that horse winning the lottery and subsequently losing most of that money to gambling debts?

And your business is highly successful but never profitable because you're always in debt and so are most of your employees and customers.

Haha, because it's in c/autism
