Rather than feeling scared I think you can use this to productively guide you. Look through the prompts he is using. Do they strike you as something a random person can produce? Not really. They show that Simon has excellent understanding of sqlite and how to do benchmarks. All ChatGPT does for him is speed up the typing. My experience has been that the quality of output is heavily correlated with the quality of input. Good clear prompts give good output. I postulate that if Simon had worse understanding of benchmarks and sqlite he would not have gotten as good output. If you as a developer make your money by doing what ChatGPT is doing (turning clear instructions into working code) then you are going to be automated away. If you as a developer make your money by having a good understanding of the tools you use and by communicating that understanding clearly, then you have to type less in the future. The silver lining is that even without GPT good understanding of tools and clear communication were always the more important skills to learn. ChatGPT just solidifies existing structure. |
