Perhaps if they are super specialised in one narrow niche. The moment they need to write code in a new language/framework/algorirhms/domain, they benefit tremendously from chatgpt.
Or even just redacting their documentation entries.
I’d say the main devs that don’t benefit is mid-level ones. Good enough to do some programming, but not good enough to figure out how to benefit from gpt.
- kachapopopow 2y agoAI's are currently not helpful since they make shit up when you ask things about documentation or mix and match things from different libraries. Normal search is still the best for docs. Anything javascript related it's probably fine tho.
- omg7584 2y agoIt's interesting most of you equate being "good" with being able to close a lot of tickets. I'd take a collegue with knowledge of the fundamentals and that knows how to ask the right questions - and when not to - over "produces a metric shit ton of code, but when asked doesn't actually know anything". The first one might be slow and might be editing his, horrors or horros, documentation entries by hand, but that's because he is thinking and refining while he is doing it. He is not an automaton spitting out "work units". After some contemplation he will wipe the whole project off the table, because in the grand scheme of things it doesn't pan out while collegue number two was busy generation a metric shit-ton of work units and being happy about his productivity. No LLM will tell you that or more specifically, no LLM will tell you that if you don't know what to ask for in the first place.
