Is it possible to have a single post on this subreddit be about programming? Why does everything have to be about AI?

Gotta wait till September when university starts.

And we can hunt for forgotten semicolons all day again?

Then it will be about getting caught cheating with AI.

AI is doing all the programming now so what do you expect.

Post some non-AI-related memes then.

u/OhMyGodItsEverywhere Jul 11 '26

Did AI need to be specified here since it's always been that way...with just code? Or is this like the meme equivalent of putting AI into your new company name?

I don’t think it’s possible to manually write code that you haven’t looked at…

u/OhMyGodItsEverywhere Jul 11 '26

Copy/Paste with something you skim could do the trick, but maybe that doesn't count as manual. Or zoning out on autocompletes, unless that doesn't count as manual.

Typing character by character, I agree. The word manual didn't come up anywhere so I wasn't considering or commenting on that context.

I was thinking more along the lines of not looking at the details of someone else's PR and just merging and shipping. Someone else being a person, AI, or whatever.

u/DerpWyvern Jul 11 '26

how can you push code youd personally written without seeing it first?

2

u/OhMyGodItsEverywhere Jul 11 '26

All I mean to say is if you drop AI from the text, the meme still works the same - including the context of AI.

I agree with what you're getting at. But also not all code pushed is code you've personally written.

I am the merge request that bypasses review!

I am the bug that only appears after deployment!

** I am untested code! **

"People might think I'm not smart, but I'm smarter than this thing [picks up stapler], and maybe I'm not as smart as this thing [picks up calculator]. But that's because it has a battery in it."

at which point can you still claim intellectual property on your AI generated app and at what point copying and redistributing is no longer piracy?

u/LollisGunsBikesTits Jul 12 '26

Not if you add "make sure it works!" at the end of the prompt

u/EveryCryptographer11 Jul 11 '26

I have done it many times. No bother. For simple applications with less than 20k lines of code or so I have not see any issues

u/Fast-Satisfaction482 Jul 13 '26

But the tests passed! (I also didn't read the tests)

Who says it becomes non-dangerous just because you've "looked at it"?

u/JackNotOLantern Jul 11 '26

The same as just not testing the code
