Well I just learned functional programming, specifically Ramda using nodejs over the weekend, thanks to ChatGPT. Didn’t even know I needed it, or what it was, but I’m working on a series of data transformations that help me clean data and oh man, Ramda makes everything so much cleaner and understandable.
ChatGPT introduced me to it, then helped me debug and write a bunch of code as I had trouble wrapping my head around functional programming.
But sure, it’s all in my head and ChatGPT wasn’t helpful at all?
Compared to what or whom? Normal people don’t have brilliant mentors, and don’t understand complicated docs at a glance.
Authors like this miss the point because they’re already brilliant. ChatGPT is for stupid people like me, not for brilliant people like him.
- iLoveOncall 3y agoReading the article before answering would be helpful. The author specifically says that it can be useful for bootstrapping a project, like what you mention, but not useful in your day to day work.
- bearmode 3y agoMy team have found it very useful in day-to-day work, actually.
- solarized 3y agoI already outsource some production module to cgpt. It help me made complex postgres CTE queries involving json data type. gen PHP code for that module. cgpt produce good result as long as you feed decent prompt (detail, context, output samples, etc).
- yawnxyz 3y agoYes I did read it. This IS my day to day work! What do other designer/devs here do for day to day work??
