to be clear, i don't think that the current crop of llms can write better or even good enough software. it may well be that llms won't be the cornerstone of the future predicted in the article. still, there is a huge economic incentive to replacing "manual" programmers, and some attempt is bound to succeed eventually.
- barrenko 4y agoBased on what I can achieve with GPT in a non-Python language as a junior junior developer, I really see almost no limit to what an CS educated experienced mid developer could achieve with GPT and Python experience. Yes there is a lot of hand-holding and guardrailing but still, it's kind of insane.

- nice_byte 4y agomy experience is that chatGPT in its current form is much more of a hindrance than help. it takes longer to achieve the same desired result than just writing it directly. it seems really good at refactoring type tasks (i.e. rename method, move this block to a different routine, etc.) but it needs real ide integration for that to be useful.
