If they have this why are they hiring, and how much code for openAI itself has it written.

...don't get high on your own supply?

It's pretty obvious that these tools are not replacements for developers as of yet. I've tried them, and they are very nifty, and can even do some boring tasks really well, but you can't actually substitute actual developer skill (yet). But everybody is holding their breath because it looks like they might eventually reach that level, and the time-frame for that eventually is unknown.

But thats exactly what she marketed it as and made the claim it already exists, an agent for hire that can do everything a SWE can do.

If this truly exists they'd have no need to hire since it'd force multiply their existing developers.

What better marketing than being able to proudly claim that "OpenAI no longer hires those pesky expensive developers and you can too" because they can improve/multiply the productivity of their existing developers with their innovations.

Looks like there are engineers with few years on their belt who feel super excited about the capability of these tools and then the executives and business people who have to toe the line since everyone else is doing it. And then on the other hand there are engineers with multiple years of field and subject expertise who are skeptical about the advertised capabilities, however they are either quiet or in the wait-n-watch mode to see how it plays out.

As some one who has been both in engineering and management roles, I feel the manager role (not all but a lot of managers are just information pass through and tool would be more consistent for it) should be relatively easier for the automation. Bit surprised how no one talks about that as a possibility?
