> ChatGPT+ will definitely have some affect on junior devs but us more experience folk should be fine... for now..
It affects both. If a single team was to be split with 5 juniors and 5 seniors, ChatGPT significantly reduces that headcount from 5 juniors to 0, and 5 seniors to 2 or 3.
With many companies cutting costs and with the cheap money getting dried up, no-one is safe. HN may not like it but, the same thing that has happened to digital artists with Stable Diffusion which was welcomed on this site, now has happened to programmers and I see lots of worrying and frowns everywhere.
It appears that StackOverflow (which lots of juniors and senior developers use) has just become irrelevant.
