If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I've had nice experiences with Copilot. Wanted a customized animation timer for Powerpoint, and Copilot gave its VBA code in a trice. Works like a charm.

raddevus I have used this site Code Generator - CodePal[^]
I know nothing about programming and Arduino but posted this
ESP32 BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) method pAdvertising->setMinPreferred(0x06);
as the question under Arduino
The response it gave me is meaningless to me but the response had a explain this code
BUTTON I did not click it. I would post the code here but I feel that is a violation of
the guidelines for interacting in the lounge.
If you find the time to test "codepal.ai" and post impressions great
If not I understand completely
Thanks for sharing your impressions of various AI sites

The IT segment catering to the latter of the subject, is the ERP segment.
Businesses still continued before computers, based on paper, file based manual systems. This comprise a host of activities like invoicing, physical stock,...etc.
A typical invoicing program would be in the range of several thousand lines of code, resulting in not less than around 10 man days.
Well that is the time it takes to INSTRUCT THE COMPUTER
to carry out the invoicing activity.
How long will it take to train a human to carry out the task of invoicing? Well if that human is smart, may be an hour or less. But let's say that it be one day(8 to 5).
So we are saying that we coders are dumb!!!! We are taking 10 times the time to code than the time to train!!!! How can that be?
Well, a human has a mind which can be trained. Well give the machine a mind. Real Mind, not AM(Artificial Mind).

No, we coders are extremely clever. We can take a mindless machine and train it to perform tasks that used to require a mind!

The human creating the invoices by hand will do so slowly and make random variable mistakes.
The computer creating the invoices will do so very quickly and make very precise mistakes.

To err is human, to really mess up requires a computer.

Look at the coding time as training time.
Computers are so dumb, they require that much more precise instructions be prepared for them to perform the task.

No that is not true. No more so than saying that a light switch powers the light bulb.

I can't speak to invoicing but at least at one time it took 4 years at a university and a very difficult test which it was expected and norm that it would take at least two times to pass the test to become a CPA.
But I haven't seen any computers showing up at a zoo one month to do an audit of the books and then the next month showing up to do a forensic audit on a bankrupt company.
In the same way that a power drills are nice on a construction site but just like a manual drill they don't do anything unless a human uses it.

They have been trying to do that since the 1950s with computers. And they were trying to do it in other ways before that.

Just sharing, rated "lounge SAFE " (MY opinion )
This rant contains no programming or instructions.
..if I want your opinion, I'll ask for it - more true today

If my boss was saying that kind of thing to me I'd read it as "change your attitude" and I would.

If my boss had said that to me I would tell him to take that dime and stick it where the sun don't shine.
If you can't find time to do it right the first time, how are you going to find time to do it again?

Mike, Mike, Mike. You forgot an essential part of your response.
I would tell him to take that dime, fold it until it's all sharp corners, and stick it where the sun don't shine.

Yeah, that makes cents.

I've occasionally worked for other people, but over time I figured I was as smart or smarter than them and decided to work for myself, which I've done most of my life.

Same here Mike - I got lucky my first contract was a six month one on a bank liquidation, which turned out to be the worlds largest (still is) , I managed to get rid of my agent and go direct - it lasted 21 years - got to be some sort of record.

Fo sho, the word "boss" has a total negative connotation to it, that's more akin to master. That only works in Kung Fu movies.

Agreed, but to be fair, most people don't realize what it's like to employ people. Once you hire people, with your own money/budget, you tend to have a bit more empathy for employers. Maybe he's a douche, but we don't know. What we do know is the OP has issues.

Can't argue with any of that.

Absolutely, I agree 100%, there are bad on both sides.

This!
We're currently replacing an application that mixes application and ERP database tables in a single database.
The ERP has an API, so we want to use that and create our own database so it's completely seperated from the ERP.
Of course, we also have an API we use for our applications.
Now I was on vacation and one employee said to the other "we're going to migrate those ERP tables to the API" and the other employee spent a whole day incorporating the ERP tables into our own API
When I got back from vacation and I heard that, I had to muffle a scream, as this is a sharp priced fixed price project
I briefed them about this before my vacation and I left comments in our API code saying "This will be migrated to the ERP API.", but he forgot and didn't read the comments...
Now I, a good "boss", took a mental note "brief even better next time this situation occurs."
A bad boss may have scolded the guy.
But sh*t like this happens, scoldings or no.
When you scold them they'll simply stay quiet next time, be afraid to take initiative, or leave altogether.
That said, I may not always been as nice when stuff like this happened in the past, and I will lose my temper again in the future
