What is wrong with this comment section
i feel this in my soul since i'm the only one responsible for an abandoned code base with only a part time fresh graduate too inexperienced to help -- i've lost track of the number of rabbit holes that would have been impossible without gemini.
🙂↔️ I always find my solutions myself. I tried to use AI and it always sends me in the wrong direction. It is just webscraping aka stolen work. Why you such a cuck?
maybe spend a bit of time learning how to use new tools instead of being toxic online

I installed deep seek on my phone and asked iy some questions based on what ive been working on, and in ten minutes it gave me information i'd worked out over three weeks
