Check out my comments higher up in the thread (eg https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35197613 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35197613), I really do believe that GPT4+ will be primarily useful as augmenters for capable and dedicated engineers, rather than replacements. It's like a very eager and brilliant junior dev that can solve many problems that you throw at it, but still needs hand-holding, error-checking, and someone who knows how to piece the actual system together.

- gwoolhurme 4y agoThanks for the reply! I don’t know what the future holds. The country I live in will even just on the job train more programmers if need be. It is kind of nice in that sense. If what you say is right? Then for the most part everyone is happy. The problem is, if we assume the worst case scenario, that it does take all our jobs, well then what? To people with those opinions, my question is what do I do? What does anyone do?
