I work with java and do a lot of integration, but a looot of my effort goes into exploring and hacking away some limitations of a test system, and doing myself things that would take a lot of time if I had to ask the proper admins.
I had a problem where I was mocking a test system (for performance testing of my app) and I realized the mocked system was doing an externalUserId to internalUserId mapping.
Usually that would have been a game stopper, but instead I did a slow run, asked Chat GPT to write code that reads data from a topic and eventually create a CSV of 50k user mappings; it would have taken me at least half a day to do that, and Chat GPT allowed me to do it in 15 minutes.
While very little code went into my app, Chat GPT did write a lot of disposable code that did help me a lot.
If a new version of the app can be generated on the fly in minutes, why would we need to worry about reusability?
GPT generated software can be disposable.
Why even check the source code in to git - the original source artifact is the prompt after all.
