A few months ago I was in a conversation with a couple buddies of mine, they talked about how chat GPT was going to end so many jobs including software engineering, which is my field. It was astonishing hearing people outside of my field tell me so confidently that chat GPT was going to completely replace software engineers. I played around with it and it can get some things right but it can also confidently spit out incorrect answers. I think as a tool for an engineer it would be good but not as a complete replacement.
As a software engineer, though, I would not recommend to anyone to learn webdev right now.
I do know a bit of webdev but really don’t enjoy it. I have used GPT-4 to produce in one hour what would take me 2 days to make. It is like having a very motivated and fast-typing intern.
It won’t end our job right now in that state, but I think it would be irresponsible to not be at least a bit worried about the 2-3 years span.
Actually personally I would be very surprised if we don’t have more people writing coding prompts than actual code by the end of 2025.
