    I didn’t have to write those expressions, and I avoided all the effort of going to read the docs and relearn something I very rarely need. Plus the latest models usually nail it on the first try these days.

      This is the same thing as blindly copy-pasting StackOverflow snippets; which people used to think was a bad thing.

        What did my previous comment say though? You can’t turn your brain off, ever. Why didn’t you copy that part of my comment?

          “Can’t turn your brain off,” and not reading the docs seems contradictory to me. I.e. if you don’t even know the contract of the specific methods the code is calling, you don’t really know if it’s correct or not.

            I’ll paste my previous comment here again, since you didn’t bother to grab the important part last time:

            You only “trust” it if you’re turning your brain off.

            Anyone who wants to keep their grades or job is reading everything that comes out and applying their human taste, and making serious edits and rewrites
