I can do things as one software engineer what 10 years ago a whole team needed.

If chatgpt can do things you would have given an junior or assistant and it's now faster to just do it yourself it will have an impact and it might raise the bar.

I would neither under or overestimate what it can replace in a few years.

And surprisingly a lot of time and energy is used to teach people old things just because they also need to learn.

It just might be e easier to teach it once to chatgpt or whatever is next, than people.

ChatGPT can’t do the things I coach my junior teammates to do, though.

Depends on what (I didn't say it will replace everything tomorrow) and let's see in a few years.

And at least in my team it definitely feels like I teach every new hire/intern/young person the same old things.

I could also just starting to teach an ai those things.

And this multiplies. If everyone of us is only teaching the same ai everything once, than this is much more effective.

We haven't really tried coaching it yet.

I don't think it has enough context to be a real coder yet, but it has some ability.

Having the token limit unlocked in the future might change a lot.

What we have been developing are a lot of solid building blocks. Protocol, infra, frameworks. Not just some kind of heuristic engine.

I haven't.

Most of us haven't.

We are reusing combining etc.
