From personal experience, I’ve saved hundreds of hours with ChatGPT already. It can piece together large neural nets in PyTorch that would take me an hour or more to get right, or annoying pieces of code which I don’t feel like correlating the disparate pieces of online info for. Of course I will review it and unit test it to make sure it works, but I honestly make more mistakes integrating it in my larger project than ChatGPT does in the code itself. And this is on the free version.

There are limitations of course but I’ve been impressed more often than not.

This is my experience. What does it mean for the world when skilled programmers are 10x-ing their productivity?

Is it just more vacation?

Or do things change more profoundly?

It means that there will be higher productivity expectations based on using this. If you can't use it very well you won't be as rewarded, you probably won't be compensated as well.

We have a long human and also programming history that as we gain capabilities, the expectations of that being a standard thing grows.
