I have around 8 years of active development work experience across multiple stacks, both front end and backend. From past 6 months I have been using GPT as assistant and must say it’s getting dangerously perfect . We are now able to do projects at almost half the cost. There has literally been no hiring done for 6 months without affecting productivity a bit. I wonder how many days before it takes over half the jobs in tech including mine.
