Gets even worse the more years of experience you have. You end up being the solo dev trying to figure out a stupidly over complicated 20 year old piece of software written by a sadist that loves WCF and using tcp sockets to send data between classes in the same project

I know what I do.
I go to ChatGPT, type my problem and copy the solution to my codebase.
If it doesn’t work, I search my issue over Stackoverflow or DDG, and copy from there.
And once the code fails in production, which is always, I repeat the process again to find the new solution which will then fail in next iteration.
So don’t you ever tell me I don’t know what I do. I may not know what code I’m writing or for what, but I very well know what I’m doing.
