And full of telemetry

I had this happen with a mid level guy (who thought he was a senior) with a cowboy attitude towards code. After many attempts to reason with him, I revoked his permission to touch the main branch and stopped reviewing his code until he started behaving. He left soon after.

In your case with a senior I’d escalate the situation to management.

I would ask on reddit, IRC channels or read the documentation. I found that I rarely get an updated answer on stack overflow for my area of work.

It also enforced that while I was learning I would avoid asking any question there.

I really hope it burns to the ground. One of the most toxic dev “forums” I’ve seen. I made a point of never clicking their site when looking for answers even if it took me longer.

Depending on the points I can see it with education and even with things like chatgpt, but IDEs? Ah this is a new one. How do IDEs just fill code for programmers? What’s next? programmers use chairs that are too comfortable nowadays?

IDEs have boosted significantly programmers productivity.

Let me just say that besides you doing a great thing you’ve put it so eloquently. It made so much sense in my head. You’re having an impact on the lives of those cats. Thank you!

I hope the f not. Let’s keep ISPs greasy hands away from the cool stuff please.

That’s every bigger software company. As my first job on a startup(ish) company we were 5 devs working on a desktop application and embedded software. This entailed working all the way up from firmware, to Linux distribution and higher level onboard software. After 8 or so years I went for a bigger company on similar market. They had 4 teams of 6 devs each doing a much worse job than we ever did. There was lots of friction and corporate bullshit. The only thing I felt didn’t work out on smaller teams was customer support.
