i gotta ask - are people really coding like this now? telling an AI what they want to accomplish and then editing after the fact? or is this just a technique that’s being used by more junior and just-starting developers?
if it’s truly all happening locally i could see it becoming a little more mainstream but i’ve never thought most companies would be comfortable sending parts of their codebase to an upstream AI source for processing
i’ve spoken to a friend who’s learning to code and using chat-gpt to help him learn the ropes, and i think that’s a great use of it as a learning tool but i do hope we don’t go down a road where fewer and fewer people can write things from scratch (or what we referred to as “from scratch” a year ago).
