I always say, if some nontrivial code compiles and runs on the first attempt, then you just haven't found the bugs yet.
GPT-4 is a fantastic collaboration tool for senior developers, who know what they want in detail and can review, verify and apply the output it generates.
Just yesterday I needed to write some detailed bash scripts. I'm no Linux guru but I know what I want and that was enough - in minutes I had a solid script that did everything I needed and wanted, something that would have taken much longer to hunt down through Google. And then I asked it about SQL, C#, AWS, Terraform, Rust and on and on and everything was high quality.
The only way I could have gained similar results without ChatGPT would have been to post all my questions to the dev slack channel and engage in hours long discussions with my colleagues.
