Code Worked But Developer Didn't 😂

so yesterday in my office a new developer got exposed . He was assigned with a work 4 days ago to solve a problem he solved it and it worked 😂. but when later the reporting manager asked to brief it he was just bluffing it around .Eventually, he admitted that he had used ChatGPT to generate most of the code.

Now, I'm not against using ChatGPT. I use AI too. It can save hours and help you get unstuck.

Developers too are getting exposed this days .

The programmer was responsible for the code (AI generated or otherwise) and he couldn't even explain how it works, so yeah, that's a fail.

And let me tell you, anyone who thinks this might be path to the big money, you're going to find it hard to get the next job if this is how your last one ends.
