I find this interesting. There's a few things ChatGPT has been useful for with coding but in general I've found it to produce outright incorrect answers and it can't really reason about higher level problems. Even for spark questions in scala it generates code w/ totally made up methods or code that doesn't work properly.
Its writing style is also pretty tedious for many prompts.
I've noticed "full stack" folks really enjoying ChatGPT but dedicated infra and ML folks (not working on toy problems) finding it less valuable.
A good chunk of my work involves talking to folks, understanding requirements, putting together design docs, etc. vs. actual coding. I've found it not particularly valuable even for doc writing.
