So I have already been in multiple situations where a developer on my team was working on a thing for 2 days, where I was able to get it done with ChatGPT in a minute.
This is actually happening.
All devs need to learn to use AI tooling right now!
Discussion
can you give an example? that developer sounds awfully incompetent
Incompetent for not using chat GPT-3
Not really incompetence. One example was a tricky SQL query to power somewhat complex dashboard. The dev made a mistake and misunderstood requirements first. So that took two days. I tried building the query too, but didn't find the right constructs in SQL and dropped it after 30mins (and stack overflow had multiple open questions about this, no good answer either).
I then asked ChatGPT and that spit out elegant solution with multiple inner left joins, but understandable and workable.
Sounds like bullshit.
I worked with a junior dev the other day on writing unit tests for one method, to show him how unit tests should be done. It took about 30 minutes. It required about 4 test cases and setup of the class, etc.
At the end, for lolz, we put the method into ChatGPT and told it to write unit tests. It took 30 seconds. It wrote the same tests I did.
Yeah, for unit test and even commenting your code it works really well...
Which part?
