    Guy with vested interest makes too-bold prediction. AI is certainly not wiping out “most of” 5 million really cheap coders within 2 years. It could even grow, with US teams changing their model from X US-based coders to half that number plus AI to generate the more standard code and a bunch of Indian coders double checking things.

    Has this CEO tried using the code ChatGPT spits out? It looks correct, but I’d say 80% of the time it isn’t correct. You need to correct it a bunch to get what you want and even then sometimes it just can’t do it.

    Not saying it isn’t a cool tool to save time sometimes, but it’s not like it just does the work unsupervised.

        I have similar experiences. Some devs would not be able to pull the repository and stop there, until you ask them for news. Then they tell you they are blocked. When you ask why they didn’t look for a solution by themselves or notify you they are block, they reply you something like “I am senior developer, you don’t tell me how to do my job”. These guys should be afraid of AI, because they will get replaced.
