You can download docs once and refer to them pretty much. You can also download dependencies once and read their source code to figure out questions you may have.
Like, sure, I need the internet to download new packages and tools and their documentation and stuff. I will concede this. But after that, I can live off the land.
Sure you can and we all had to live without nice things at a certain time, I had the Nintendo DS & Wii doc in physical text form (because NDA and so I guess), with only a handful of helpful people on the Nintendo forum. But that was invaluable, still remember that guy from Team17 helping me out because the audio was bugged in the console.
I mean we can all motor through it and spend lots of time figuring it out, I actually like that 😁, but having access to the whole worlds shared knowledge is kind of nice too.
Not really. If the internet goes out in our office 100% of our programmers are going home. Doesnt make them bad, the internet is to useful to work without.
the documentation is literally on Internet. Python standard library, MSDN, posgresql, odbc drivers. Everything is online. are you suggesting you memorised your whole stack, and did you printed out ? Granted * some * of it can be downloaded
I remember when ‚man 3 printf‘ and such was a thing. Good times, those. Then there’s ‚go doc encoding/json‘ as well. I’m sure other languages have some offline docs
Forgot “Microsoft Word”
Forgot “Microsoft
Wordoffice”I'm sorry, do you mean Microsoft Copilot 365?
gags
Microsoft Office Suite, it sounds classier
Spreadsheet Architect, Powerpoint Guru, Wordsmith
Classier than listing every program individually?
Eliminating orphans is an essential skill in IT.

Seriously, pipes should default to unbuffered...
You mean Copilot. No one uses word manually anymore.
Copilot? Write me a terse reply to the highlighted comment.
This is actually scary. They cant do anything without an internet connection.
To be fair, programming without internet is just (very) unproductive.
For you
Tell me you're not a programmer without telling me you're not a programmer.
I got almost 3 decades of writing software for money. I don't need stack chatgpt overflow. I know some standard libraries by heart.
Guess you just "know" all the new stuff coming out?
I programmed for a living before stack overflow, and it was just less effective.

I have a mild existential crisis every time the Internet goes down. I have no idea what's wrong, and I cant use the Internet to find out what's wrong.
You should work to become sufficient offline. I have my whole life because I know how fragile it is.

Yeah I'm kinda helpless if I can't get maven packages or check packages against the CVE database.

So you know how to fix all the security holes the AI left in your codebase, right? Right?
No worries, GPT says my* code is flawless.
Did someone crop off DevOps?
Generative AI AND chatGPT. Impressive.
But I know how to code, program, AND write software.
But don’t have a development podcast?
Damn, you're right! I need to let people know that in addition to my other skills, I can also develop applications.
Chatgpt how do I pod my cast
So this whole list is actually
ChatGPT
How to ask ChatGPT how to:
Coding
Computer Science ....
He forgot to list his Minecraft server
Hey, maintaining that server is a 24/7 job after the last update. There are dozens of people depending on me.
Generative AI degenerating skills.
wait, just ChatGPT? not llama, gemma, or even gemini or copilot?
majoring in chatgpt💀
