I’ve been working with GitHub Copilot – which truly is a timesaver when it comes to writing code I’ve written many times over for new projects and lately instead of spending time searching for an issue, I’ll ask ChatGPT how to solve it.
They don’t always get it right, but their track record is pretty good.
As I ask these technical questions, I keep asking myself – is this the end of technical blogging, and if so, what’s next?
There are many blogs I still read because I want to understand more than simply a snippet of code and want to get the complete picture. I still blog on these items in the same way.
Blogging started off as stories that I don’t think will end, I don’t think AI products have those stories yet, that we sit back and laugh at that made us who we are. You know the ones, you get together with a bunch of people you haven’t seen in a long time, someone tells a story, you laugh till you cry – AI isn’t doing that yet. It’s not evoking that emotion.
So, although the tone and sentiment of what and how we write (not for shock value) might have to shift to be seen as greater value in the modern AI era.
No, I don’t think blogging is dead.
