    Most people who are in dev aren’t maintaining shit.

    Most coders don’t write new scripts, they’re cutting and pasting from whatever libraries they have - using ChatGPT is just the newest way to do that.

    Your boss doesn’t care about how the job gets done- they care that it gets done. Which is why we have giant code libraries just chock full of snippets to jigsaw into whatever we need.

      I disagree, but maybe what I do in “dev” is a bubble where things are different.
