You... wouldn't just code yourself if they were down?

If my laptop breaks I'm not going back to pen and paper, I'm buying a new/different laptop.

No more than when they are up, no. Why would I? I can produce far more by having tasks running in the background while I do other work.

[ShinyLeftPad]

Wouldn't know how

[vidarh]

I have programmed since I was 5, so 46 years now. I have no problem doing it, and still do. I however wouldn't waste my time only coding by hand when an LLM can do it far faster.

[ShinyLeftPad]

Nobody said "only by hand", you moved the goalpost. If you don't practice it you lose the skill.

[vidarh]

I have not moved any goal posts. You made unwarranted and frankly grossly rude assumptions.

[ShinyLeftPad]

So you think if you don't practice you don't lose the ability, that's fine

[vidarh]

No, you wrongly assume I wrote no code, and chose to be rude and insulting about it.
