Just like somebody mentioned about Google searches you still have to coax it a bit (but I'm sure it will be fixed in the future)...but that doesn't mean it isn't useful.
For instance when it is writing code it is constantly skipping certain basic things needed for the code to compile and in my request I explicitly have to tell it to not skip certain things.

If anything this proves you have to be alert as a software developer as you are in an industry which will leave you out of a job if you become cozy in a company using old tech.
I left the C and C++ world in 1995 to go into Java and it paid off very well...however as the chart shows it is time to move on.

I started with Java, moved to Kotlin. Using Dart these days.

As the bar shows in the video (although only to 2022) it seems python is the place to be. Although coming from strict typesafe java pretty much every language disappoints me. Plus Python with its indenting affecting the way code is run makes me want to scream. Javascript isn't much better.

Ya the operator knowledge, writing skills, logic is still very important
This is why in the age of AI, analytical skills, critical thinking, the ability to think systematically, writing skills become very important
Chat GPT will not give correct solution if we dont dive more and talk with the AI deeper. Of course I use Chat GPT for technical things as I think it is the area where the model can work well
I will not use Chat GPT for asking simple question or any thing related to religion LOL
Actually I doubt Chat GPT has good analytical skills in understanding economy and politics. Social matter requires much more data set and it changes rapidly where the model could not follow
While topic such as computer programming, cloud computing etc will be much easier to be answered

As they say "garbage in garbage out". AI has yet to show its capable of original thought.

The World Depends on 60-Year-Old Code No One Knows Anymore [COBOL]
I actually took a COBOL class in college.
It's a bit strange but not useless. Basically you would create printer width templates (remember no screens when it was made) and then jam data into it and it would count lines and calculate totals. You'd spit out 30 pages of printer output.

Computers were programmed by punching holes into paper (Seriously) | Punch Card Programming
Trivia: The cards were in EBCD code and if that sounds familiar it is because EBCD was the forerunner to EBCDIC which is IBM's version of ASCII which is the forerunner of Unicode.

It depends of the task, e.g: in hardware drivers all code is C until today, the same to video processing (video codecs) and all tasks where speed is required.
Python and Javascript are fine for common tasks because clear code is almost mandatory to code in it, and it's easy to update the code.
But it's slow running compared to C, current machines can afford waste of resources in high level languages like Python/Javascript for common tasks, but it's what is, a waste to make coders do easy to read code.
