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”💀
Well isn't it the same anyway instead of pasting error in Google you paste it in chat gpt
It’s the same but I am shocked coz he never heard of stack overflow and now struggling to understand the concepts. I personally feel that ChatGPT makes learning less intuitive.
It's not the same. Imagine buying from your local grocery shop and buying it from ecom blinkit zepto etc. From the grocery shop, you have tons of options, you explore stuff with different shopkeepers, compare the price, quality quantity etc and then arrive at the best decision. Meanwhile you have learnt 10 different things about the veggie you were buying like how to keep the veggie fresh for a long time, different ways to cook the veggie, when will the next batch of veggies arrive etc. A simple task of buying veggies from a grocery shop taught a lot of stuff. Now imagine buying from zepto. You only have the option to whether you want to buy this veggie or not. You don't get to explore it. The same goes in the case of googling stuff vs chatgpting stuff. Googling is like going to a grocery shop where as chatgpting is like ordering through quickcom.
Tbh I rarely use ChataGPT. I still go to stack overflow by default.
Well the modality has changed for sure. Having been in both camps. I genuinely feel Chatgpt does give an edge over Stack overflow. I use the paid version, and it works wonders. The time to search goes down drastically, however you need to be cautious not to be over reliant.
Also, not sure if you noticed, but in hiring drive we face severe cheating, due to Chatgpt. Fortunately, Chatgpt gives code with comments, so catch that
Hard to believe, but not surprising. In fields like data science or even web development, context matters.
GPT is awesome in understanding the context and helping you out. Much better than stack overflow unless what you’re doing is EXTREMELY unique.
Googling is also a skill and searching/ posting on stack is also a skill. You can’t rant to Google and expect it to solve your issue. If you rant on Stack, they downvote and close the question. If you rant to GPT, it considers it as context and gives you a better answer 😂
Copilot is getting adopted left and right. And it essentially is a wrapper around GPT only. 🫡
This feels like a 90s’ programmer telling 2010s’ programmer how stack overflow is wrong and how you should read the documentation and use mailing lists.
It could be for your work-related solutions or other stuff. It would be great to see how different people are using it.

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 stude...
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 ...

Has anyone come across people losing job because of chatgpt? I think many people foresee that happening but i am more curious to know how do you feel about that in Indian tech sector.
