I am completely blown away by ChatGPT. I need to set up a RedShift data warehouse on AWS. As you may know, AWS is not the most user-friendly tool in the world. I managed to set up the warehouse but I have difficulty programmatically getting data out. I originally used Google and tried out various methods such as ODBC and node-redshift, but they didn't work. I then asked ChatGPT how to do it and it solved my problem instantly and it works!!! No more clicking around Google Search results and browsing Stack Overflow threads!!
I also need to load data into Redshift using a Kinesis stream. Instead of wasting time Googling, I asked ChatGPT how to do it. Once again, I am blown away by the results. This is 100 times better than skimming through the lengthy AWS documentation.
ChatGPT is a total game-changer for programmers. I also feel that I, as a programmer, will soon become obsolete because I am just clicking around, doing what ChatGPT asks me to do, and changing some variables. ChatGPT should be able to do all these things by itself. I just need to give the commands and QA the results. In other words, we might not need programmers in the future. We just need problem-solvers and dot-connectors who know what commands to give to AI and can validate the outputs from it.
The excitement I saw around ChatGPT reminds me of when I first used web browser Netscape in 1996. And It is only the beginning, I hope that technology this time could bring more goods to humanity than bad consequences.
