Is chatgpt the default starting point for inexperienced / early career/ students now?
As a CS student, yes absolutely. These people then complain about paper exams and when the code gets complex enough for the AI to make mistakes. I've seen a few people drop out in programming 2, and my web 1 class was decimated because we were doing more than leetcode exercises. It's a real problem that so many people are using it as a crutch.
I'm not a developer but I write a lot of code for network infrastructure automation... when I started learning I was already a network engineer so I figured it would be a cakewalk. I think it takes a certain type of person (patience, persistence, tenacity, etc) to excel in a computer science field. I'd reckon a lot of young people think the jobs are all pretty sweet and cushy
Why are you surprised?
I'm neither surprised nor unsurprised. I'm middle aged and don't have much insight into what university students are doing day to day.
