ChatGPT helped me write my websocket code, I'd never used websockets before and it saved me hours (of not more) of time learning a new API.
I had a concurrency bug in some code, I threw it at GPT4 and asked it what the problem was, a few seconds later it split out a solution.
I had some complex state management code: "Hi this code has an off by 1 error in it, can you find it?"
"My page demonstrates this visual problem, here is the CSS file for the page, what is wrong?"
The color picker component used on my above linked site was 80% written by ChatGPT4.
AI is a huge productivity booster.
Heck I use it to steel man opposing views of my blog posts to try and make sure I have sound arguments.
- xk_id 3y agoI wouldn’t be able to trust running generative code that I don’t personally have context for, or hasn’t been reviewed by an experienced peer; even if it seems to work as intended. It’s the kind of irresponsible OceanGate mentality. As for blog posts, “better than nothing” doesn’t automatically make content “compelling”.
