As long as you know the limits of what you're doing, tools like ChatGPT are very helpful. In about a minute, i was able to generate a skeleton app using a go framework including tests, the infrastructure as code to deploy as a lambda, a makefile build and run it, and a buildkite pipeline that will build and deploy it all. It's also correct.

Now, I can't rely on it to do everything, but it can give me an app scaffold for a tech stack I'm familiar with, quicker than I can Google for it.

I am sure the tools will only improve, but I don't understand all the hype/fear about it. ("We are fucked", "this is soo over", ... I think you will find more of those comments in older news-threads)

That said, ive found it remarkably good at spitting out slightly modified boilerplate - like IDE templates on steroids. It's been a great tool, like a hammer. But not everything is a nail.

It is probably nothing though...As if this gopher server is going to replace my TV someday. Give me a break. It only does text!
