Lots of anti-ai people in this thread it seems. I get it - personally I HATE the fake image generation! But I have to agree with you in terms of coding that using LLM's correctly can offer huge benefits.
Modern harnesses are getting more and more sophisticated and your milage varies depending on how well you use them (like any complex tool). At the end of the day it's still up to the developer to take the code and make sure it's correct - no different from before where we used to copy code from Stack Overflow or other examples and modify them for our own use.
One thing I have to add - I honestly don't understand why anyone would use Claude or chatgpt at their ridiculous prices when DeepSeek exists..
I would suggest a different approach. Think about what you want to achieve with programming. Look at the languages which can be used to do this task. Choose one and try some tutorials, I recommend freecodecamp it helped me a lot.
I can't really comment on zig and go but I think they are pretty serious languages tbh.
Prickly pear fruit. Looks like an exotic dangerous adventure but after you avoid the spikes and get inside it's actually pretty bad. Recommend eating only if choices are eat this or die of thirst/hunger (eg. if you are lost in the Namib desert.)
I would like to add an honourable mention to your list here: Kodi YouTube add-on. Somehow this is working for me again after being broken for ages. It's not the same (you need to use a Google account and API set-up) but no ads, auto play, recommend videos..
My 12 yr old son is pretty sensitive to pigs being blown up for example but I guess not everyone is. The infamous torture episode also comes to mind, we didn't show him that one. I'm just saying that it's up to the parents.
Bill Nye went crazy? Last I heard he was involved in the groundbreaking solar sail project and speaking out about climate change, what did he do that caused you to add this warning? I'm not disputing anything just asking for information.
Also Myth Busters - not sure if available on YouTube, we ripped the DVDs long ago. Most episodes are pretty PC but some are definitely not appropriate so vetting required.
Yes, CloudFlare blocks agents completely if they ignore it's restrictions. The key is scale - CloudFlare has a birds eye view of traffic patterns across millions of sites and can do statistical analysis to determine who is a bot.
I heard about the web usb thing, it's also going to be a game changer for me (I haven't tried yet, hopefully it works)
