That’s my impression as well: it has huge benefits for discovering what to do, getting starting points, lowering the barrier to entry — but the net effect is to make the easy parts easier and the hard pets even harder.

  Any experienced programmer worth their salt will tell you that •producing• code — learning syntax, finding examples, combining them, adding behaviors, adding complexity — is the •easy• part of programming. The hard part: “How can it break? How will it surprise us? How will it change? Does it •really• accomplish our goal? What •is• our goal? Are we all even imagining the same goal? Do we understand each other? Will the next person to work on this understand it? Should we even build this?”

  Thoughts on coding with GPT-4 so far:
  1. (Begrudgingly) this is insanely cool.
  2. I have a bright consulting future of untangling codebases that were hacked together out of ChatGPT suggestions
