Sometimes things aren't obvious unless you already have the knowledge. If an AI tool tells a young person cleaning their first apartment to combine household cleaners, are they stupid for doing so? Maybe. They may not have the experience to know. Stupid people deserve to live free from harm too, and we're all a little stupid.

There's a balance to be struck.

TECHNICALLY, there is no such thing as a pull request in git. That's a Github convention. It's really a merge request

I don't think you're entirely wrong here, but you make sweeping generalizations about programmers that I see a lot online that irk me.

Most developers I know have a few languages they're familiar with. A good developer uses the right tools for the job. When I work with my python shop I use that. When I need a quick webapp it'll be JS. If there's something that requires high performance I might try go.

Every language has pitfalls and vulnerabilities, but that really says nothing of their utility. Any flame war between languages is typically pedaled by dilettantes fueled by memes they don't understand (like javascript == memes)

take this admittedly ancient study of vulnerabilities divvied up by language:
https://www.zdnet.com/article/which-are-the-most-insecure-programming-languages/

In JS, you don't have to free memory manually. Nor in python. This (mostly) precludes a whole class of severe bugs/vulns, but those weren't relevant anyway because they're different tools for different jobs.

We can bemoan the gigantic js ecosystem, but we can also realize it is a fantastic resource for novices and veterans alike.
