I got to thinking about hiring, and things like looking at code history yesterday. There will be a lot of people who suddenly became prolific Github contributors after December of last year. I myself wrote 2 small-to-medium apps in a day using ChatGPT and added them to Github. I'm wondering if looking at Github history is now perhaps as useless as asking a potential writer for a writing sample.
Another point, the apps that I wrote with GPT-4 were filling gaps in my platform and things that would never have come off the backburner due to the lack of ROI. I wonder how we can accelerate contributions to OSS projects. Knocking out new features, refactorings and technical debt 10x faster. Of course it has to be done with care but -- an army of willing AI contributors...
