As a Software Developer, should Chat GPT write your code?

Everyone is talking about AI these days.  It is such a game changer that has been sprung on us.  We look at it with awe and fear.  Will is change how we do things?  Will it take our jobs?  Is it hype?

Two months ago, I got a lot of people asking me on the live stream about what I thought about it.  I dismissed it. I’ve used code-generating tools before but they are always flawed.  For the past month, I’ve been using it as a developer.

It really is a game-changer. 

And people will lose their jobs.

I don’t intend to be one of them.  I’m going to use this as best as I can.

I started paying for ChatGPT Plus.  Once I started using it for some projects, I realised it is something I should be paying for.  I need priority access to it.

I see these AI tools as a backhoe.  The backhoe could be seen as a threat to someone who has used a shovel his entire career.  But it can be the best tool for those who decide to learn the technology and use it to make them more productive.  It allows you to deliver faster and cheaper for your clients.

We live in an exciting time.  The status quo is being shaken.  We’ve seen other industries get more competitive due to automation.  Now, it’s happening to ours.

Don’t ignore this. Use it to your advantage.
