Reliance on ChatGPT
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?

so what are you implying?
Devin AI will be doing most of the tasks that you listed here. Newer generation students will have to do a lot more to become relevant in the age of AI
When was the last time you checked buddy? Devin Ai has been debunked. They used a recording for the demo. Their success rate is less than 15%. What makes you so sure?
I agree that the demo was on cherry picked examples but that’s not stopping them to enhance their capabilities. That’s the future and we should be prepared for it.

i believe AI copilot is the new evolution of programming,coding.
Just like high level programming language like python,javascript,etc replaced low level programming for most . Like that AI copilot will replace this high level programming
3 Things
1. Copilot
Extremely annoying at times, specifically when you are thinking about logic - terrible at logics.
Really helpful for mundane tasks & repetitive lines. Just press tab tab tab tab tab!
2. ChatGPT
Helpful in debugging for sure. But I only rely on it when I know the stack in & out, for other cases SO is still better (cz you get exposure to other parts of language)
Very supportive while learning new stack, extremely fast & gives a brief knowledge, then just read a blog & ask questions.
I love it for learning something new! (I don't trust but it gives right answer for basic question), the things is it has answer to all my curiosities.
3. Google/SO
I still heavily use it. Blogs, SO comments they r gems. Docs r ofc amazing, just read docs, and asks GPT for explanation when stuck!
