Quotes:

“[Companies should have proper technical leadership where the CTO is a business-minded individual and understands how to talk outside of their technical sphere.”

“If you ask [ChatGPT] to write a specify function that does one small thing, it can do that beautifully, but it writes code like a junior developer.”
