How Coders Can Surviveโ€”and Thriveโ€”in a ChatGPT World

Artificial intelligence, particularly generative AI powered by large language models (LLMs), could upend many codersโ€™ livelihoods. But some experts argue that AI wonโ€™t replace human programmersโ€”not immediately, at least.

โ€œYou will have to worry about people who are using AI replacing you,โ€ says Tanishq Mathew Abraham, a recent Ph.D. in biomedical engineering at the University of California, Davis and the CEO of medical AI research center MedARC.

Here are some tips and techniques for coders to survive and thrive in a generative AI world.

Stick to Basics and Best Practices
While the myriad AI-based coding assistants could help with code completion and code generation, the fundamentals of programming remain: the ability to read and reason about your own and othersโ€™ code, and understanding how the code you write fits into a larger system.

Find the Tool That Fits Your Needs
Finding the right AI-based tool is essential. Each tool has its own ways to interact with it, and there are different ways to incorporate each tool into your development workflowโ€”whether thatโ€™s automating the creation of unit tests, generating test data, or writing documentation.

Clear and Precise Conversations Are Crucial
When using AI coding assistants, be detailed about what you need and view it as an iterative process. Abraham proposes writing a comment that explains the code you want so the assistant can generate relevant suggestions that meet your requirements.

Be Critical and Understand the Risks
Software engineers should be critical of the outputs of large language models, as they tend to hallucinate and produce inaccurate or incorrect code. โ€œItโ€™s easy to get stuck in a debugging rabbit hole when blindly using AI-generated code, and subtle bugs can be difficult to spot,โ€ Vaithilingam says.

You will not learn system design in a month.
You will not master DSA in a month.
You will not suddenly understand how to solve problems at scale in a month.
You wonโ€™t grasp scalability, databases, and caching overnight.

And you most definitely wonโ€™t internalize every distributed system pattern just by reading a few blogs.

Because software engineering is an ocean: deep, vast, and ever-expanding.
And you canโ€™t cross an ocean in a single leap.

In a month, youโ€™ll realize youโ€™re only scratching the surface.
Youโ€™ll see more gaps than answers.
Youโ€™ll feel like thereโ€™s too much to learn and too little time.

But thatโ€™s where most people give up.
Thatโ€™s where frustration makes them quit.

Donโ€™t be one of them.

Take it one step at a time.

Real expertise doesnโ€™t come from rushing. It comes from consistent, deliberate learning over years.

It comes from revisiting the same concepts and seeing them from new perspectives each time.

So trust your own pace.
Stay in the game long enough to connect the dots.

And one day, the same concepts that once seemed impossible will feel like second nature.

Just keep collecting buckets.
