       computers were invented in the *mumblties* and you had to pay to program themthen in the late 70s, you could finally program them! for free! you just had to own a microcomputer! yaybut then in the 80s and 90s you had to buy compilers, which were expensiveby with the 2000s, rapidly compilers and interpreters became free again. anyone could program, for free!and then in the 2020s someone invented "programming but you have to pay", again.DON'T FALL FOR THIS TRAP

       like, even if the AI can do programming for you, which... is debatable. It's not going to do it for free. They're selling you the ability to program. One of the main reasons you should learn to program is so no one can take it from you, or charge a fee for doing it.

       go ask anyone, in any field, if it's a good thing that their work is held behind one company's paywall. See how that works for them.

       I'm just saying, I've been doing this a long time, and I've seen both sides of the "programming is free!" and "programming is expensive :(" coin, so I can assure you, you REALLY want to stay on the "free" side.

       @foone >Focuses on things being gratis, rather than for freedom.But that's not surprising in the slightest.
