Is chatgpt the default starting point for inexperienced / early career/ students now?

As a CS student, yes absolutely. These people then complain about paper exams and when the code gets complex enough for the AI to make mistakes. I've seen a few people drop out in programming 2, and my web 1 class was decimated because we were doing more than leetcode exercises. It's a real problem that so many people are using it as a crutch.

I'm not a developer but I write a lot of code for network infrastructure automation... when I started learning I was already a network engineer so I figured it would be a cakewalk. I think it takes a certain type of person (patience, persistence, tenacity, etc) to excel in a computer science field. I'd reckon a lot of young people think the jobs are all pretty sweet and cushy
