Stage? A lot of developers don't realize that they're all the same personality type which is good at particular things. LLMs give everyone else this advantage. You just don't realize it yet because you were never aware of the advantage in the first place.

> they're all the same personality

Yeah usually it was the shittiest managers I ever met that shared this belief. It sounds like they all repeat the same thing - gpt is a better google.

Are you calling me a shitty manager? Would you say this to my face? What's wrong with you?

I am not, but there's a tendency among those types that categorise people into narrow sets that they can understand. Also your statement doesn't much make sense. Being a good developer means you understand a wide range of issues, not just spelling in a language and adding if statements. The combination of personalities vary wildly. To be fair, LLMs if anything, will help developers become better managers, simply because developers understand what needs to be done. Instead of decyphering what someone meant by requesting a vague feature, you can ask a statistical system - an ai as some call it - what the average joe wants. And then get it done.

Those types huh

[timacles]

I'm not really following what you're trying to say. What is that personality type, and what are the things its good at? What is the LLM advantage?

Not saying your post is devoid of any substance, just trying to educate myself on my blindspots

There are three types of intelligence: intuitive, cognitive and narrative.

Tech has, for years, seen people with cognitive/narrative intelligence as the people who are actually smart.

LLMs help the intuitive people reach the level of the cognitive/narrative people. Cognitive/narrative people can't really understand this in the same way the intuitive people are bad at syntax or database structure. The steamrolling will be slow and merciless.

Could you give a concrete example of where ChatGPT is likely to provide a competitive advantage to intuitive people with weak cognitive/narrative capabilities?

Regex.
