What about all the people here who were claiming GPT-4 had become an essential part of their developer job?

They seem to have gone quiet recently, but they must still be here.

Two reasons they went quiet:

1. At some point it generated something that cost the business money. Happened to us. Direct root-cause analysis lead to ChatGPT generated code not being aware of the correct way to handle a transaction. First this took out stuff due to leaving transactions open. Then after that was fixed by someone who didn't know what they were doing, it turned out that the scope of the transaction was wrong which caused invisible data loss when a rollback occurred.

2. The free trial ended and no one wanted to pay for it.

I'm still here. GPT-4 (and now Claude 3.5 Sonnet) are still tools I use every day to help me write better code more productively.

These are the same "developers" who claimed their application was secure because they used multiple blockchains.
