In my specific case, Odoo modules are pretty unusual, the default scaffolding is barely existant, the documentation is not great. I haven't found any useable alternative starter templates either.
Beside that, it's also hard to use other Odoo modules s references because there's some weird thing where Odoo decided to recreate an old version of React that uses XML rather than JSX. They call it OWL. But they've only partially migrated so modules are mixed between that and I think at least two older styles. Oh, and some time in the past they decided to invent their own version of JS modules too. It's a mess.
Oh yeah, and I'm using Odoo 16 while nearly everything else I can find is for Odoo 15, 14, or 13, and there have been a lot of technical changes between those versions.
I've been programming professionally for about 15 years and this is one of the most tangled pieces of spaghetti I've ever had to unravel. There's just too many threads to easily keep them in my head at once, and very little in the way of tutorials.
In this situation, for all it's faults, GPT-4 does a great job as an assistant. It genuinely is better than the alternatives I have available - even though it's also limited in knowledge of Odoo 16 which was released after the training date.
