Exactly. This reads like people are prompting for something then just using that code.

The way we use it is as a scaffolding tool. Write a prompt. Then use that boiler plate to actually solve the problem you’re trying to solve.

You could say the same for people using Stackoverflow, you don’t just blindly copy and paste.

That’s shopping at a supermarket these days.

That’s me. Then I got a job as a software developer but most my colleagues when to university so they always going on about bougie words like polymorphism, dependency injection, etc.

We coined the term that I am a working man’s software developer. I can do all those bougie words but I just can’t articulate what they are. Nor do I care to to be honest.

Although I agree with the stuff about written things being contradictory, but I think your comment is a little reductive about machine learning.

Machine learning has rapidly transformed many areas, here’s a few:

• Object recognition
• Facial recognition
• Medical imaging
• Language translation
• Speech recognition
• Text generation
• Drug Discovery
• Genomics

The list is rather endless really. Take text recognition and computer vision. People that are blind can now wear Meta (shit company I know) glasses and actually go shopping, pick up items and have the labels read to them. Thats fucking awesome.

As a Brit I’ve never heard of such a thing. Sounds awful like putting a pie on a muffin (bread roll, barm cake) 🤮

Now sorted by capitalism.

Yeah, I totally get where you’re coming from. I think it depends on what you mean by ‘efficient.’ If we’re talking about runtime performance and memory management, C# and .NET are generally very efficient: JIT compilation, span/memory optimisations, and the garbage collector all make it competitive with Java in most workloads.

Where I agree with you is in developer efficiency: .NET projects can definitely get heavy with boilerplate, especially in enterprise setups with lots of layers, dependency injection, and config-heavy patterns. That’s not necessarily a language issue, but more a combination of the framework conventions, Microsoft’s enterprise guidance, and patterns like MVC/WebAPI scaffolding.

That’s an uncommon opinion here. Here being the operative word.

Look in I’m not going to say I wasn’t disappointed that it wasn’t Mac which I used at my last job, but when it comes down to what we need to do in a day I don’t notice the difference.

I tried Linux last year as a daily driver and gave up as I’m not looking for something else to debug in my own time. I now just want it to work.

C# development is incredibly efficient to be fair.

Have you considered not asking questions based on conjecture? No it isn’t because we are inefficient. It’s a mix of staff come first and the work comes second and a lack of greed I’d say. Most of our work comes from word of mouth and we keep client for as long as they’ll stay with us.

If a client reads a spec and get the application described and decides it’s not right we will change it for them for free to build a relationship. Which is why we get more and more requests to work with us.

It really isn’t though. I’ve done in on Windows, Mac, and Linux.

Mac and Linux are easier to install stuff but on the whole the experience has been almost identical.

Most of our code lives on Linux servers. We target web browser most of the time. For those where it’s a windows application then sure it lives in windows environment.

The fuck are you doing in it?

I’m a software engineer and we use windows. 90% of my day is spent in Visual Studio Professional. The rest is split between chrome, outlook, teams, postman, and SQL server management studio.

I literally never go to the start menu. I have shortcut icons on the bar for everything I need.

Yet I work for a very successfully (we have too much work and don’t even advertise for it) small company and we all use windows computers as software engineers. We use C# .Net Entity Framework, SQL, GraphQL, React Typescript or WinForms.

We have some large clients that most people ok earth have heard of.

Nah just actually found people more cynical about the world than me for once.

Yeah I’ve got bigger hills to die on than language bro.

Damn grey ones did away with most of the nice red ones.

Icl this had me rolling. Gimme 10 monkeys (£50 note) to pay back that monkey you owe (monkey as cockney rhyme for £500).

It’s to be advertiser friendly. All kids use new words. We did the same

You telling me you’d shoot a fed? Why don’t you go and do it then.
