Perhaps the fact that I work exclusively on the front-end is why I also derive tremendous value from GPT-4, and I have been perplexed by others saying they find no value in GPT-4 for coding. There is so much boilerplate BS that GPT-4 just nails down and lets me move on to bigger things.
Just yesterday, I needed to mock up a quick prototype for a new feature we're developing. I just paste in my existing React component (and it's all front-end code with no sensitive/proprietary information), tell GPT-4 what I want it to do, and it does it.
Is it perfect? No. Does it sometimes get things wrong? Yes. But it's still easier and faster to help guide GPT-4 and tweak its final output than to have done it all myself.
I'll never go back. Never.

- bavila 3y agoWhat can I say? It's a dirty job. :)
- ipaddr 3y agoIf your job has a lot of boilerplate this is helpful. If your job is finding/solving complex system wide bugs this doesn't help as much.
