Fixing up buggy code takes more time than writing new one. Especially when you write less and less on your own. I'm not saying it's not or rather won't be useful very soon. But what I'm implying is that the article is the bullshit. Because had he really used it in a real life job he would know it's not good enough for anything other than most basic stuff and even then it's unreliable.

The 10x is just a term used to denote high performing individuals who can do things others can't. Adding chatGPT, as it is now, to a normal person won't make that person a 10x'er.

I completely agree. Fixing bugs absolutely can take more time than producing new code. The time requirement to fix bugs also scales more dramatically the deeper the bug is nested inside of the code base.

I can see where maybe ChatGPT would be 10x faster than searching google for answers when someone has a question, but I'd stay far away from trying to implement most of what it spits out into a production application. That goes double for enterprise level applications. Especially if the person generating it doesn't understand how to produce that code on their own.
