I’m personally experiencing a bit of a honeymoon-over moment with ChatGPT (even 4). It seems to be better in the exploratory phase of a project - show me something about x or y. However, I thought / hoped it would be better at doing things that I know how to do but don’t feel like writing them or using a library (which then becomes a curation problem) since they should be < 50 lines of code.
I really struggled with it for example to write a base62 serializer (C#). It either came up with an O(N^2) solution, performed far too many allocations, missed edge cases and simply wrote incorrect code.
This is just one example of ~50 lines of code that you would just like to work.
In any case, I have felt in the past that LLMs could make me 10x more productive but today it feels more like 1.1x. I’m hopeful my disillusionment is temporary.
