Depends on who is participating in those communities. At some point larger institutions, governments, and universities may find a common interest in controlling their own destiny.

Exactly the way I felt this morning.

I'm going to continue to be that person, but I also prefer to automate things once I understand them. It's why I use libraries instead of writing the same code over and over.

It has to be on the roadmap.

Nope. But I'm sure they were inspired by them.

Mainframes had the same problem.

I don't mind the companies at the forefront profiting from their efforts, but hopefully the best software development tools aren't locked behind a paywall, especially since our data was used to train these things.

I'm not mentioning any tools right now. I'm sure that'll change once I get more hands on time.

That makes sense. So far I've been guiding the tool to do something I already know how to do, but in a programming language I'm less familiar with. I feel like I can judge if something looks right and the verification steps adds a lot of confidence.

This is way beyond the "look it up on Stack Overflow" workflow I've used in the past. Mainly because the tool is interactive, explains itself, and runs verification steps along the way.

This isn't layoff 80% of your engineering team territory, but I can see why people are excited about this.

I'm avoiding name dropping for now as I don't want to come off as promoting any products.

The task, not the AI agent, is still the most important bit.

😂

It is.
