I'm a dev using ChatGPT and CoPilot. I work more efficiently as a result.
Currently I don't think LLMs represent a risk to my job in that I work for a small company and personally handle many aspects of the development process on my own. However, at a larger company where those roles are spread out I could see some of them going away soon.
I work on a large WordPress theme. If an LLM were trained on that theme it could possibly have the global scope I need to make changes and understand their impact. It won't be long before we have software that allows you to easily train an LLM for your use. That could threaten my job. But then, my company would still need someone to manage and QA the results.
So I see fewer jobs, but not the end of the profession.
- adamredwoods 4y agoI agree. I simplify it as boilerplate coding versus maintenance coding. I worked at a job where I built out UI templates for a larger system. I could see that job reducing to perhaps more of an QA or automation engineer to manage the pipeline. Too bad, though, as that job was menial but gave me the longer term skills of muscle memory to write out HTML code.
