I've used this part of ChatGPT before. Incredibly useful for getting the syntax of some library that you're going to use once in your life, then never again.
Had a sysadmin mate do something similar to generate a simple Chrome plugin for internal use at his work.
That alone justifies the price for ChatGPT Plus, IMO.
- flir 4y agoI used it to knock up a browser extension tonight. My knowledge of JS is basically non-existent. It definitely paid for itself this month.
- danenania 4y agoAgreed. It’s also great for things like “zip up all the files in this folder, upload the zip file to s3, and output a progress bar while uploading”. It’s not difficult in an architectural or algorithmic sense, but it takes time to refresh on the APIs, find a progress bar library, and how do presigned s3 posts work again? And you can make little mistakes, forget error handling, etc. You could easily spend an hour or more on something like this, especially if you haven’t done it before in x language. With ChatGPT it takes a few minutes. It can add up quite dramatically when you have a bunch of these kinds of tasks on the todo list. It does feel revolutionary to me as a productivity enhancer.
