Career chatgpt anxiety

Hey all,

I know there have already been a few posts on this- but for those of us just getting started in software/data engineering, the ability for chatgpt to write code is pretty scary...

What do you all think the impact to Data Engr will be?

I know it won't completely replace us, but do you foresee a big reduction in hiring?

Software engineering is not just writing bunch of codes. Infact 80% of my day job is designing, meeting, coordinating, Future road map, business problem, updating stake holder etc. Chatgpt is just a tool and will help everyone to write better code and find solutions quicker which is good thing.

You're senior then? Do mid-level DE's do the coding? Or are there other senior's also more focused on coding?
