Ask HN: How to Deal with ChatGPT Anxiety?
Since the release of ChatGPT I can't help it but be pessimistic about what the future holds for the field of software engineering. As a Junior developer I'm so thankful for the constant learning I'm experiencing at work and despite the low impact I have on issues/code base I'm always making sure that I take it one day at a time. I keep hearing friends and people online saying that the calculator didn't replace mathematicians and that Excel didn't replace accountants, but I can't help it to be anxious and think of ChatGPT replacing me and is making my imposter syndrome worse. I wanted to ask HN and see what they think of my fears, am I unreasonable? I know that I should not fear such tool but make sure I learn it and have it help me become more productive. Any tips or recommendations on how to deal with such anxiety/fear. Thank you in advance.
COMMENT:
You're in on the ground floor at the right time. Take advantage of ChatGPT/Codex/GPT-3 to make your job easier and to make your productivity sky high. Being a junior you have less to unlearn.
Use it to understand unfamiliar code.
Use it to understand long historical arguments with the right amount of detail relevant to your needs (Vi vs Emacs / Tabs vs Spaces / JQuery vs VanillaJS / etc.)
In particular use it to speed up your learning (paste documentation into it and ask for summaries or questions about how something works).
Use it to brainstorm some approaches.
Use it to write a step by step set of instructions for tasks you need to do.
Use it to clean up your grammar / points of view in writing.
Use it to evaluate or at least present the pros/cons of several approaches or decisions.
Use it to fill the missing parts of documents.
Use it to improve your resume.
