For what it's worth, a (former) team mate who was one of the more enthusiastic adopters of gen AI at the time was in fact a pretty good developer who knew his stuff and wrote good code. He was also big on delivering and productivity.
In terms of directly generating technical content, I think he mostly used gen AI for more mechanical stuff such as drafting data schemas or class structures, or for converting this or that to JSON, and perhaps not so much for generating actual program code. Maybe there's a difference to someone who likes to have lots of program logic generated.
- acedTrex 2y agoI have certainly used it for different mechanical things. I have copilot, pay for gpt4o etc. I do think there is a difference between a skilled engineer using it for the mechanical things, and an engineer that OFFLOADS thinking/designing to it. Theres nuance everywhere, but my original comment was definitely implying the people that attempt to lean on it very hard for their core work.
