> And yeah, their confidence is frustrating. Treat them like an over-confident twenty-something intern who doesn't like to admit when they get stuff wrong.

I was explicitly calling out this comment, that intern would get fired if when explicitly called out they not only don’t want to admit they are wrong but vehemently disagree.

The interaction was “Implement X”, it gave an implementation, I responded “function y does not exist use a different method”, it instead of following that instruction gave me a link to the documentation for the library that it claim’s contains that function and told me I am wrong.

I said the documentation it linked does not contain that function and to do something different and yet it still refused to follow instructions and pushed back.

At that point I “fired” it and wrote the code myself.
