I was scared shitless for my senior code monkey job for a while.
Then within a few months all the "it‘s a capable junior/mid level dev", "it multiplies my output 1000x" and "I don‘t know how to code but just published my first app written by ChatGPT in the appstore" horror stories kind of collapsed and turned out to be blown out of proportion nonsense.
- falcor84 3y agoWe're in the "trough of disillusionment" now, but it doesn't mean it's nonsense - capabilities will keep rising.
- post-it 3y agoCapabilities will keep rising, and so will demand. Wix has replaced every web developer from 1995, but there aren't any web developers left with only a 1995 skillset.

- Kiro 3y ago> collapsed and turned out to be blown out of proportion nonsense I don't agree with this. If anything I see more and more examples every day that makes me think my job is actually in fact threatened.
- moffkalast 3y ago> "it multiplies my output 1000x I mean definitely not by that much, but 3-5x easily? If you count those times where one spends hours sifting through documentation and examples on something new you're not familiar with then it could reach those numbers if it spits out something that works first time in several seconds. But not on average. It's not great for debugging existing problems given the extreme context limits, that's become apparent, but for writing new code? Absolute gamechanger.
