> I'm currently mentoring a trainee, and I have to do a lot of hand-holding for them to get things right. ChatGPT can perform on that level.

It definitely can - I have a blog post written about playing with it where I describe it as "pairing with a smart junior dev who's absurdly good at remembering APIs and syntax."

If I had to predict one game-changing result of this thing, it's that it just became a lot harder to be a good junior dev. I can think of plenty of things I did very early in my career that took me days which ChatGPT could have done in 30 seconds. But at the same time, this tool is available to them as well, and it does more than just spit out code - it usually does a pretty decent job explaining the logic of its output. Maybe it will accelerate junior learning. Who knows?!

The future is wild!
