I had a professor in college that taught java code.
Idk how she got her degree and became a teacher bc she didn't know how to code, she just knew you put "phrases" together and it does a thing.
Almost all of our assignments were impossible bc she would go grab a piece of code she found online and tell us to complete it and then the assignment would be thrown out when we collectively explained what she gave us was actual garbage and no instruction.
If she is still teaching, I am 100% certain she is having AI create and check assignments

A picture alone is sufficient in a lot of cases, for example, here a "work database" exists with ids n shit called "dialog" which is just a program you can "pirate" online that syncs with a database of workers, all you'd need is a quick way to compare pictures in it

it is not for convinience or safety when shopping.
it is because it is so much easier to follow.
