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?
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.
Devin AI will do the job
so what are you implying?
I see one common trend regarding this topic. Product managers and people related to managerial posts are saying that AI will replace software engineers. And on the other end, software engineers who actually code and use the ai products for help during coding, they are saying that AI can't do shit. It will take a long time.
So, you can conclude yourself that everyone is just saying something which benefits them rather than the actual reality. Everyone is living in their own imaginary bubble.
Personally, to achieve anything close to redundancy of software developers, product managers will need to learn coding. They will need to know basics of software design. And to say it brutally, it takes so much more than coding random letters and words to build a enterprise level software application.
So yeah, AI is gonna come for us but it's some time before that. It will never replace human software developers fully. You will always need someone to be accountable and to give it a human touch. Software developers will be there, but the tools they use are gonna change and skills that are expected are gonna change. And, by change I think a lot of change. And, good news is it will happen gradually.
I will just end by saying that autonomous vehicles and any form of autonomous vehicles have been there for quite some time and it's not gonna replace human drivers for another decade.
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
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!
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.
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!
