The Dev Craft

The post discusses the assertion that ChatGPT writes better code than the majority of software engineers, prompting readers to evaluate the capabilities and future role of AI in coding.

"chatgpt already writes better code than 99% of software engineers"

Seems like a huge stretch IMO.
I’m still newer to coding so ChatGPT prob codes better than me, but just have it try to do something more complicated and it’s going to break your whole app.

A tractor can move far more soil than 99% of laborers.

That is NOT true. Just watch Neetcode’s video and you will agree with me too: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_cSLPv34xk" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_cSLPv34xk</a>

I’m not sure about this one. Admittedly, I use Claude primarily when I’m working, but even that needs extensive prompting to eventually get to the right answer, and I’ve had situations where it gives a way more complicated solution even if there’s a relatively easy solution.
For example, I recently had asked it to convert a JSON object from the jackson library to a org.json object (basically converting the json into an object from a different library.) Instead of just converting the jackson JSONObject into a string then using that to build the org.json object, it wrote a multiple function long algorithm that individually parsed each key:value pair within the json.
Just one example, but I find that situations similar to this happen a lot. Asking it to write code for AWS CDK is also extremely hit or miss.

Lmfao 😂
It might look pretty sometimes but the amount of time you need to spend code reviewing it makes it faster and easier to leave it to the professionals!
Outside of Junior-level fixes, it really isn’t up to scratch yet. Though I welcome the day I can be replaced by AI and live a peaceful life in my people zoo!
