  • I use gemini to generate code. None of it works. It gets confused between GA and beta features, enhancement requests, and doesn’t give any extra credence to official documentation, which is copious. So its basically like an intern producing little value and taking up my time by requiring constant supervision. Oh and AI generated firewall rules took down a major service for us recently. Good times.













  • This was very well explained. Thank you for posting.

    I think the base knowledge inthe past was much closer to primary sources. If you wanted to know something about science, you went to the library and read a book by an actual expert. You didn’t have some youtube dumbass between you and the knowledge.

    Also - you didnt mention magazines. Thats how people often learned to fix things or were exposed to popular culture. Magazines like Popular Science or Family Handyman would have articles on fixing things in daily life. Automotive manuals like Haynes (worse) or Chiltons (better) were available at libraries as well.
