Honestly, this is why I think the branding that Microsoft is using for all of this, "CoPilot", is spot on.

I'm using this not to replace my work, but to enhance it. It's like having a mid-level developer sitting next to me that knows enough about everything to push me in the right direction.

With this framing I'm wondering if maybe it'll be a boon for junior devs instead of their death knell like so many are saying. It's now a mid-level dev who can get them unstuck when they need, instead of the original idea proposed, where it's a junior dev a senior will need to carefully watch over.

I don't want to nit-pick but the way you phrased it makes you the copilot supervised by AI.

I’m not a junior developer, but there are plenty of things that i know I don’t know.

I also prefer to learn by doing, and chatgpt gives me enough support in the places I’m lacking to make It much easier for me to learn about what’s going on. Infinitely patient, and just a few keystrokes away whenever I need it.
