> Q: Will ChatGPT reduce the amount of toil associated with software engineering?
> A: Yes. Significantly.
I think the article misses the point. It starts by suggesting that many programmers suffer from burnout, but it builds from the hypothesis that the activity of programming itself is the cause.
I may be wrong, but in my experience, developers suffer burnout because of managerial decisions and bureaucratic stuff piled upon them. Most are happier when they just, well, are writing code.
So will ChatGPT increase the joy of programming? I don't know. But it for sure will not get rid of the annoyances mentioned.
