Title: As a C++&#x2F;Networking enthusiast religiously following any new features and quirks in the language and also following several rfcs I have lost complete motivation for self improvement in terms of keeping my skills sharp due to the rapid AI takeover. I had an opportunity to see gpt4 in action on an inhouse product and I&#x27;m taken aback, it architects, generates tickets and starts writing code using feature &#x2F; bug &#x2F; spike branches for an embedded device a company is working on.<p>It can do almost everything I can do a bit better and I have years and years of domain knowledge, keep ontop of rfc changes, new languages, c++ standards etc, side projects and even occasional leetcode.<p>Oh well, this gold run did run on long enough - Im glad I made a bit of money from the industry but I think all these students going into CS are in for a rude awakening and we&#x27;re in for a huge shift in this industry.
