How ChatGPT Really Threatens Your Job Security as a Developer
Can ChatGPT replace you at work? — Sure it…

ChatGPT allows you to explore possibilities that are beyond the constraints of our reality and that can be incredibly fearful for any developer.
The videos on YouTube and the answer in the picture below seem promising to replace us very soon. Ask yourself the following question:
Can It Substitute Any Basic Developer by giving exact instructions?
If the answer is yes, I am also a little bit screwed. Better read on and see my test about writing a Todo-App in Angular that ChatGPT is capable of. It can only evolve from there.
Let's check it out before shitting into pants.
Let It Develop for You
I started with the simple question above, which gave me pretty detailed instructions. I couldn't hold myself back from testing it out, and oh boy!

Step 1: Easy in Case You Have a Little Bit of Preknowledge
I already had angular installed because I have worked with it daily for almost a decade. But this needs to be detailed for anyone learning it right now.
I hope you have heard of NPM first. Otherwise, you need to google again. Psst! Feed the machine the problems you are facing, more on that later.
Besides, ChatGPT didn't mention any of the below questions (routing and which style rules you want to consider):
Step 2: Kinda Worked like a Charm — but Wait?!
Once executed, I thrived on seeing what the program already did in the background. So, where is the instruction to get it running?
The command ng serve
isn't even mentioned. Hold on, Arnold, I am trying to simulate a beginner. I don't even know about this command. Just carry on.
You'll see why ng serve
becomes important in Step 3.
