If ChatGPT becomes as good as a junior, it may replace this position and we will be stuck with a decreasing number of seniors. But right now it's bad, makes a lot of mistakes and hallucinates APIs which is unacceptable. > the job of a developer [is] glorified autocomplete of what someone else prompts them with Clients don't know what they want, need, or what machines are capable of. Managers can't properly translate that either to the developers. My job is to understand all this and propose solutions, or say no if it's impossible. Will AI do that in the future? Do you remember when Cobol was supposed to replace programmers? Same thing for me. I have yet to see a fully generated solution from the specs to the deployment that takes responsibilities for its mistakes. But not yet another ReactJS frontend that anyone can do in a few days, something real that is useful to me and that you can sell as a real product. We currently have a large number of business guys (look it up on LinkedIn) who learn "prompting" because they believe it will make them gods in the future even if they don't know what a programming language is. And a lot of scammers who sell their prompts to those people. It feels like cryptocurrencies all over again. Last but not least, who will create the new APIs, technologies, and languages that we use? Will we be stuck with C++2x forever? ChatGPT will need a few additional revolutions to do this and to be independent on the open-source that already exists.
