  • I’ve found they’re great as a learning tool where decent docs are available. Or as an interactive docs you can ask follow up questions to.

    We mostly use c# and it’s amazing at digging into the MS docs to pull out useful things from the bcl or common patterns.

    Our new juniors got up to speed so fast by asking it to explain stuff in the existing codebases. Which in turn takes pressure off more senior staff.

    I got productive in vuejs in a large codebase in a couple days that way.

    Using to generate actual code is insanely shit haha It is very similar to just copy pasting code and hacking it in without understanding it.


  • I would say being more inclusive is bringing value.

    There’s a massive issue with women being under-represented in STEM and little things like this only further cement that.

    It’s casual sexism. I’m not suggesting they are intentionally hating on women.

    Assuming it’s a man because it’s programming is fundamentally sexist.

    What downsides would they be?
