it is useful in a lot of ways but it doesn't "solve" software like people think it does. it's just better google search.

- raydiatian 4y agoThis.
- jasfi 4y agoIt's augmenting software developers in a way that's badly needed. I personally hope it stays that way, but people are always pushing the limits and there's still a lot of improvements that could be made to these systems.
- tjr 4y agoWhy do you think it is badly needed? Not arguing with you, just curious what you're thinking here.
- jasfi 4y agoI'm thinking of the stories I've read about developer burnout. Then tweets where people say developing is 90% debugging and 10% writing code. These systems would hopefully reduce burnout, shorten troubleshooting times, and identify problems before code is rolled out to Production.
- SketchySeaBeast 4y agoIt seems to me in the short term we'll be doing more debugging and even less writing as we copy & paste suggestions and try to figure out why they aren't working.
- jasfi 4y agoThat's like copy & paste from a Stackoverflow answer without understanding what the code does. Except that it could happen more often, but devs need to be trained not to do this without understanding.
- SketchySeaBeast 4y agoI guess how does this keep devs from having to write code if they aren't using the code that's provided by ChatGPT?
- Ekaros 4y agoI think in the end it might cause more debugging. And I mean hard debugging with things being subtly wrong and not trivial to fix or correct.
