Reminds me of a case where I was trying to help debug some legacy code. I had a simple question, what code gets executed when this method is triggered via the network request. And the final answer that i got from the developer maintaining that code was: I have been working on this for the last 9 months and I have not yet been able to find he entry point from where the requests are handled
I would hope that, in future, some chatgpt like tool would be able to answer basic questions like this and help a new developer start getting productive in much shorter time than now.
Then imagine asking that tool to summarise all the business logic applied in the project or ask questions abou which all sections of the code may need investigation to analyze a bug and come up with a solution.
In the end, I would think of these ai tools as something that can function like another junior or even slightly experienced developer in the team.
