Sandeep Pokkunuri: "Don’t get me wrong, ultimately the developer is in control. They are the ones who decide whether this code is good. They’re the ones that will run and verify that it is working as expected. They’re the ones that will ship."

Sandeep is being very optimistic. AI coding companions open up coding capabilities to even less experienced coders who mostly care of the code works. Whether the code is good will be questionable.



Until they try to do something slightly novel and find they need an actual developer to help them along.

Not to mention security or other concerns.


In a sense, ChatGPT for coding is the ultimate "build something for other start-ups" business idea isn't it? It allows barely tech literate, read people knowing more about actual coding than I do but nowhere near enough to qualify as a developer, to found tech start-ups without a tech co-founder. Considering how often this question gets asked, well, ChatGPT is just genious. Not that I am convinced it'll actually serve a purpose other than allowing peiple to be lazy enough to not study and learn stuff themselves.
