I'm a full-stack developer with Microsoft's MVC (model view controller) code pattern which, I think, is one of the most popular code pattern out there. Basically, I can ask ChatGPT to make data models with foreign keys everywhere, and it will:

--Construct the Interface.

--Models, functions, and model inheritances.

--The controllers.

--The views in a not so good manner.

--Several really good unit tests for the Models.

So at the ability of ChatGPT, it probably entirely replaces all the new programmers. Like before if I had 4 programmers doing that stuff, just 1 programmer is now needed.

ChatGPT is very very good indeed. And its ability to parse out natural English into a well-made function with unit tests is really good. It's almost spooky at how good it is at writing even complex function. For instance, I used to use the C# cookbook, pull out a function that sort of came close to what I needed, and spent time figuring out getting it to work. Not anymore; ChatGPT is incredibly good at figuring out what you're saying.

So instead of paying $80,000/year for a new full-stack developer, just pay $20/month for a subscription for a seasoned developer.
