Dude, chatgpt as a junior or mid level programmer? Have you actually met junior or mid level programmers? I’ve got 20 years of experience in the tech industry

Dude, chatgpt as a junior or mid level programmer? Have you actually met junior or mid level programmers?
I’ve got 20 years of experience in the tech industry and chatgpt is far far better than any mid level engineer I’ve ever met and I include FAANG engineers too.
Chatgpt can answer any leetcode programming question in essentially every programming language in existence in less than 20 seconds.
Chatgpt can analyze classes for errors written in every language in seconds.
Chatgpt helped me write animation, ai, sound handling code in c++ and helped me build a full working game, the total code generation time for chatgpt “thinking” was on the order of one hour.
I don’t know any senior engineer who could help me (a c++ newbie) write a whole working game engine with all the necessary systems in less than one hour of “thinking time”.
I’m starting to think that all the “naysayers” of chatgpt simply used it once or twice, saw one error and dismissed the whole thing. Or they’re simply afraid for their own skills and avoid chatgpt as the alternative scares them too much.
- YeGoblynQueenne 3y agoCan you share a link to the game you made with ChatGPT?
- bcrosby95 3y agoYes, we employ them regularly. And yes, I use both ChatGPT and copilot regularly. In my experience, if you compare the unedited output of ChatGPT to the unedited output of someone with a couple years of experience in the given domain, ChatGPT will have more subtle bugs than the human provided output. Hence my between junior & mid assessment. It doesn't mean that it's useless though. Having a tool at that level of experience for every domain in the world that can cook up code near instantaneously is damn useful. And I assume it'll only get better.
