In today's world, it's not just enough to be a good programmer, you need to be a great problem solver that uses their creativity to come up with unique solutions that machines can't replicate

I dunno, it depends what you are building. The creative problem solving part is about 5% of a typical programming job. The rest is gluing together existing libraries, boilerplate, using Google, and people stuff.

That one's doing a lot of the heavy lifting here. The "people stuff" (working out requirements, managing expectations, explaining things, etc) has been arguably the most important software developer skill for a long time. As it happens, ChatGPT is still pretty bad at it.

In tomorrows world, you need to be the greatest bug fixer. Because we know GPT will not create flawless code.

In todays world it's not enough to be the best programmer and problem solver the world has ever known - they have to have personal connections with the right people.

The industry is full of people that if measured in merit should be fired tomorrow, but the machine continues because it's not about being good. It's about who you know.

I'm getting ready for those "cleaning up after chatGPT" jobs.

I imagine Google might have tried AI solutions for Code Jam problems and realized that human contestants could (and would) be eliminated. Probably just a coincidence that they also decided to reduce the number of humans that they employ.

Hahah probably, AI will lead to some big changes in the industry for sure, it is unlikely to completely replace human programmers. Instead, it is more likely that AI will be used as a tool to enhance and augment human abilities, rather than replace them entirely.

I know that companies were freezing their hiring not too long ago, but I didn't know that Google Code Jam is not happening this year
