Open a ChatGPT account. Set up a GitHub account if you don’t have one. Think of a common problem and see if a library exists in your favourite language to do what you want. If it doesn’t exist, explain your requirements to ChatGPT. You can even tell it the same thing you put in your comment here: “I want to learn how to use ChatGPT to augment my programming skills”. Make sure it’s done properly with automated tests and you have a licence (ChatGPT will help you with both).
Bonus points for doing things like using GitHub actions for CI and publishing it to a package repository with guidance from ChatGPT.
- Tostino 3y agoHonestly I've had it guide me to better practices (like described) on side projects than I would have implemented on my own.
- happytiger 3y agoThat’s a part of what I use it for too. It’s excellent at generating large volumes of structures so it’s solid when you want an overview of a subject or a starting point. It's hard to explain to new folks that you can just ask how to begin to begin and get usefulness.
