I have a few junior engineers that work for me. I notice they are all just using chat gpt. Chat gpt makes some hard to notice bugs that unless you program a bunch you won't notice, or writes code that is inefficient. If they don't actually write code they aren't going to learn this stuff. We are paying these guys well over 6 figures. Is this the future were all people are going to do is use ChatGPT?

I got a better offer from another company, However I have a lot of unvested stock. I Don't know what stock market will be in a few years, and my current employer has been good to me. However I would like to get more guaranteed money. What is the best way to do this without burning bridges as I likely won't quit because financially it might not make sense.

It feels like a lot engineers now days don't seem to have a good cs background. They don't seem to understand things like cache, paging, virtual memory,cpu pipelines, algorithms or other things pretty important to CS.

I know we have a lot of bootcamps and people are joining because it pays decently, but is this necessarily a good thing for the industry?

When we have the next industry crash (.com crash) will these people stick around?
