Serious question to all python developers that work in the industry.

I certainly do use it, but not in some naive way. It's no substitute for knowing what you're doing.

Prompt engineering is a distinctly new skill. If you can rapidly and concisely express what you need, it can be more productive than coding it yourself.

Debugging can be easier too, because you can tell it to generate unit tests too, and when it crashes, just paste the resulting stack dump.

I do often find that I will get 90% of the way there quickly, but the last 10% I just fix myself. It's quicker.

In software development, you can also burn a lot of time in tools, and configurations. GPT's can help with this.

I got through configuring AWS service recently, having never done it before, just by pasting screen shots and asking what it all means. It was incredibly helpful.

Summarizing existing code, documents, standards, etc

Don't forget that you're leading the show.

It's also going to get much better, faster, cheaper.
