I think ChatGPT is just the next level search engine for coding. It doesn’t fundamentally change anything about building complex systems, just another tool.

I would never ship a production app built with ChatGPT. I need to know the intricacies of my code base. I wanna fix bugs in my head based on the architecture and specific implementation details. I need to know how fragile or not my system is and its weaknesses

I agree.

I’m a management dope now and lost most of my coding mojo, but I can much more quickly conjure up small scripts or programs to do small tasks or demonstrate a point.

When I started my career, I was the “kid” who introduced Google to the office! ChatGPT feels like that!

But honestly I hope everyone keeps pushing this “AI is gonna replace programmers” stuff. Will keep people out of the field and my technical chops will have higher market value.
