I’m disappointed, but not really surprised I guess, with how poorly so many programmers seem to understand what chatgpt is and does. It’s great and amazing tech, but it’s very much a kind of search engine, and indeed, writes just the kind of code you find on the internet… sometimes great, often flawed, very often incomplete. Its breadth of knowledge is stunning, but it’s not like it’s actually useful to be able to write code in all the languages. It really doesn’t even touch harder problems. You need to know, at the level of fine details often, what you want from it and what you don’t. That’s hard. …It save’s time. We will perhaps need fewer programmers as people spend less time on grunt work. But that’s hardly the end of coding, and seems like clearly a good thing in the long run.
