Entire tech team called for “how to improve productivity meeting” and they taught us how to use chatgpt
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 ?
Our engeneering lead told us that we can fire bottom 10% performers due to efficiency gains of copilot for top 10%
This. In future we would require fewer programmers to build stuff because some of the work can be automated by chatgpt
When I joined 13 years ago, we were told to learn using google and stack overflow.
Now its ChatGpT - what else is new :) ?
Programmers who learn to code with AI will soon outperform programmers who write code just by themselves.
Be productive and use the leftover time for skill upgrades.
He is helping you. Why are you complaining? It’s not so different than seeking help from stack overflow. Just get the job done.
It’s not a silver bullet but if you’re unnecessarily stuck on minor issue then ya seek chatgpt. The senior dev is probably doing something in line with expectation from management… Whatever the reason, just don’t blindly follow any advice
