It seems only a matter of time before Github/Copilot/ChatGPT (all owned by Microsoft) will be able to take the text from any open issue on your repo and suggest a PR which might fix that bug or add that feature. Obviously, as a developer, this sounds like a WILD superpower.
"Upgrade entire front end from Bootstrap 4 to Bootstrap 5"
"Add integration tests for account creation and account settings"
"Add the ability for users to upload their own avatars onto their accounts using the carrierwave gem, then display those avatars next to the username everywhere"
This feels wildly different to me.
Every engineer becomes an engineering manager?
I mostly just read tests and request screenshots now?
I can solo code an app in days that otherwise might've taken months?
Holy dang.
What else aren't we talking about, yet?
