It's called learning, apparently something that is now being eschewed in favour of quick superficiality (and making developers more replaceable --- with AI or unskilled offshore labour.) No wonder "modern" software is almost always total shit.
"But I don't have the time to learn," you complain, but ask yourself this instead: Why do you never have the time to do it right, but always the time to do it twice (or however many times is necessary to get a barely-working product)?
I’m so glad I don’t have someone like you on my team.
Imagine a pilot, plumber, or electrician not wanting to learn the language of the trade. No other profession I know of is as self-destructive to intelligence as the software industry.

I don't want lazy brainless losers either, because that's what you're advocating for.
Talk to any electrician which kinds of diagrams they prefer; those were a fellow was clever, trying to compress stuff as much as possible, or those that are clearly readable and easy to understand. Pilots carry heaps of documentation with them on the plane, walk through checklists instead of trying to memorise what to do. Your argument doesn’t hold up the slightest scrutiny.
I’m advocating for a culture of helping people hone their skills by learning from others instead of being turned off by their arrogance. That’s a very different thing from encouraging them to avoid thinking.
No one is complaining about not having time to learn: you’re arguing against a strawman. The point is not to discourage learning, it’s to encourage clarity in a context where it can at times be critically important.
I am of a generation where I see these uses of LLMs as exceptionally lazy or showy. Your ready use of a "chatbot" is not an attribute to broadcast like this.
What's wrong with GNU? they automatically wrong or something?
That's the attitude which is responsible for making software the way it is today: mediocre.
Software isn't as exciting any more, but that excitement isn't gone because newbs don't have to look up what -O stands for anymore. It's because it's wildly more reliable.
