How was coding before ai tools like before 2023
Hey senior guys, I would like to know how you coded when you were at the initial stage of your career. I know there was Stack Overflow, but what approach did you follow if you were asked to build new features? If you didn't understand the code, how did you come to understand it, and how much time did you used to take to complete one task compared to now (as due to AI tools, you get less time)?
And how hard or difficult was coding in those days?
