"I'm genuinely trying but I just can't understand it." to "You know what? No. Fuck that shit. I refuse." in 3 hours - Are you genuinely trying? Or just don't like how it works? the hype is that lots of people are happy to work in the manner you outright refused. To be fair to you: if I could drive, I probably wouldn't take the bus either, fuck that shit. :)

I absolutely do not want to review multiple haphazardly written[1] attempts at the same computer program over and over again. That's a ridiculous way to spend time. So I'm not willing to try asking the bot over and over again to rewrite it. I'd rather write it myself and be confident in the result.

I think this only works for things where it just doesn't matter whether it actually works correctly, which to me seems synonymous with "problems that aren't worth working on".
