> GPT-3 has taken away the need for programming acumen for most creators.

I strongly disagree. GPT-3 is impressive technology, but it isn't even in the same universe as a team of sharp experienced developers. It is a valuable tool for them to use in some contexts, but it won't be replacing them anytime soon (at least not at a company I would work for).

The parent comment might be refering to github copilot or chatGPT, both are fairly decent at removing a lot of google-fu for typical fullstack problems and helping newer programmers get up to speed or closer to a viable solution quickly.
