The other poster is being a jerk, but your point doesn’t really refute theirs: if you can’t even be bothered to check for an array delimiter, instead passing that on to an AI, how will you ever learn?
People are being more demanding of humans because humans are taking knowledge and learning for granted. All this abstraction has a cost, and the cost is you.
Things are falling out of your memory all the time as a function of how often or seldom you do something, how trivial or superficial the information is, and how minor the difference between other tools you use regularly.
Despite many years of experience, I still sometimes get this wrong in Python or its equivalent in the other languages I regularly switch between:
from math import sqrt as s
import sqrt as s from math
import sqrt from sqrt as s
The difference here is that, because I admitted to using AI, I don't get the grace of making the most trivial mistake in a forum comment.
And suddenly we pretend that had I just written it by hand a few more times, I would never err again in forum comments, despite making similar errors this week in languages I've used to write millions of lines of code across decades.
HN: AI coding is still coding because you need the domain knowledge to steer AI in the right direction, read the code, understand it and fix it when necessary.
Also HN: No idea how this OS works, screw writing proper documentation, just ask Claude to do it! Wee!

C’mon, just drop the “greybeard” act. Nix not having proper documentation is bad practice, period. No ifs buts or howevers, it’s just an objective fact. Good documentation is always (ALWAYS) a net positive, and this is an OS with it’s own unique mindset and way of doing things, good documentation is essential. End of.
