Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

How to teach my junior who only relies on chatgpt. They will not look into documentation/IDE suggestions to understand what they are copying.

I am concerned that in this way, they aren't going to learn about the entire system and grow to work independently. How data flows in the system and where to look into if something is wrong.

Basically, they are not trying to understand the code they are writing. How do I bring this to them and explain that they need to use less chatgpt to actually understand what they are supposed to do or are going to write. Once they have that experience, I am fine with them using chatGPT as much as they want to.

Junior using chatgpt only- Grapevine

The lack of critical thinking these days is driving me nuts. I've got a few people on my team who've somehow BS'd their way into roles they can't handle. They can't do anything that takes more than a minute of actual thought.

It's like all I get is copy-pasted ChatGPT output for the simplest questions. Makes me seriously worried about how they will get better over time (as a lot of us did).
We're churning out folks who can't think for themselves, and it's scary as hell.

Help me write  a reddit post explaining my concern:

Hi guys! I have done my gradutation in BE Computer Engineering (2023 batch)

Did not get a job on campus as i was on a long holiday trip for a few months during placements when most companies came.

I am from a covid batch ,spent 2.5 years of semesters at home (5 sems) and i didnt gain any skills during my whole engineering like trust me ( all i knew was syntax of html,c++ and python i even doubt if i knew this lol) 

My group members had made our final project ,ekdum complex ML project (mera usme daane bhar ka bhi contribution nahi tha)

So didnt find a job on campus... 

next phase:

Tried gaining some skills handson basic skills ( i did but literally nothing compared to what a engineer graduate should know,gained skills which people probably gain in first sem)

Next phase:

Couldnt find a job, Did this course called CDAC (Center for development of advanced computing) from pune ,it was almost a 6month long course ,learned full stack there with hands on( JAVA,SPRINGBOOT,REACT,SOME DEVOPS TOOLS, C#,.net) stuff like this.....

They too had  campus placements,found one job but too low pay (which was fine) but also was wayy far from my home (mumbai) and it was in hyderabad for 4lpa + 3 years of bond ,didnt go for it.

Was not allowed to sit for placements further as i rejected the offer.

next phase:

Spent 1.5 months at home,Didnt really apply for jobs(just one day lol)

Started prepping for GATE

Found out my sister's friend has a startup , a well known startup in the edtech area (around 10 years old) Quite a good startup ,good funds and self sustained ,they have kept a very small tech team like 30-40 max

So anyway i get a call , i send my resume, 1-2 weeks later I go down to their office ,they ask me how good and familiar i am with AI TOOLS ,first i thought they were asking about AI algos(like linear regression n all) but ya i told them I use chatgpt's 4o version

Unhealthy ChatGPT usage destroying my career in the long run?

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I work at a fintech company..
We have a engineering team of 35 dev which includes around 10 senior devs and the remaining are interns and junior devs..

we got called for a productivity improvement meeting by one of the senior developer and he just denied chatgpt for us..

Okay I’am biased here.. 
I agree we need to embrace new technologies..
But his point was to use chatgpt promts to write all of our code and it makes no sense..

He demoed chatgpt promts and was like “ see you don’t need to write a single line of code “

When we told we should not solely depend on tools such as copilot or chatgpt as it will not help  us as well as the interns and the junior devs..

You code to learn .. you don’t learn to code ..
Just by copy pasting code snippets for chatgpt will take them nowhere and I’m pretty sure it will confuse them even more ..

What do you guys feel ?

To all the devs (working professionals and students), how much do you rely on ChatGPT for your code? Do you explicitly use it to generate code logic, or only use it for debugging? 

Plus, do you think that the newer generation of students might miss out on the essence of programming with the advent of ChatGPT?

Reliance on ChatGPT

I will let GPT do the talking:

Using ChatGPT as a student can be detrimental to your career in the long run. While AI tools like ChatGPT offer convenience and quick access to information, overreliance on them can hinder the development of critical skills. Key skills such as problem-solving, critical thinking, and creativity are nurtured through active engagement with learning materials and hands-on practice. If students rely too heavily on AI to generate answers or complete assignments, they miss out on the cognitive processes that are essential for deep understanding and knowledge retention.

Moreover, employers value originality and the ability to generate unique insights. Dependence on ChatGPT for ideas and solutions can lead to a homogenization of thought and a lack of originality, making individuals less competitive in the job market. The ability to analyze information, form independent opinions, and articulate thoughts clearly is crucial in professional settings, and these skills are best developed through personal effort and practice.

Additionally, ethical considerations come into play. Using AI to complete tasks meant to assess one's understanding and capabilities can be seen as academic dishonesty, leading to a compromised reputation and potential disciplinary actions. In the long term, this can damage one's credibility and career prospects.

In summary, while ChatGPT can be a helpful tool, relying on it excessively as a student can undermine the development of essential skills, originality, and ethical standards, ultimately hurting one's career.

Relying on ChatGPT as a student can Sabotage Your Future Career

Product Manager

One of my friends recently started learning programming(ofc Data science) and he asked me a few questions about creating good projects for his resume. While having this conversation, we were talking about how to effectively debug the code. I asked him to check for solutions from the stack overflow, and instead he asked me,

“What’s Stack Overflow?”

Then I asked him how would he resolve the errors when he run into them and he said

“ChatGPT”💀

Ask me anything except my company name, or things that can reveal my identity. I may respectfully choose not to respond to your question based on my own judgement.

Here’s a brief intro about me: I’ve worked as both software engineering manager & software technical architect over the last 18+ years on various tech stacks managing backend, frontend and a little bit of cloud. I have seen ups and downs in the software industry. Currently I’m working as a senior architect in one of the product based companies in India.

I’ve been an Engineering Manager before. Ask me anything.

It could be for your work-related solutions or other stuff. It would be great to see how different people are using it.

I can start already, I have started using it to generate the product feature launch posts that I put across to inform the customers, but it is at a "fun" level.

Have you started using Chat GPT?

Today I realized that I'm dependent on chatGPT for writing code and debugging. The problem is that I am a college student (5th sem). I am starting my career using these tools which might not have been the case for anyone who is a little older. Is it an advantage for our generation or a handicap? 

I absolutely love how easy things are for us. Can this hurt in the future though, how? 

What are the views of the old folks?
