As a caveat, my job isn’t programming but I am self-taught in Python and Google Apps Script.
ChatGPT has been incredible for the small marketing agency where I work to do much more w/ automations. Being able to use natural language to describe a script that will work with the Asana API (for example) has been amazing. There’s been projects that would’ve taken me hours in the past that are now done in minutes.
There’s also been a lot of data collection and research we’ve been doing by having ChatGPT write small scripts — like scrape this CSV of URLs and return all the meta titles/descriptions. There were tools for these things in the past but the flexibility of easily scripting them ourselves has been great.
In the past, the vast majority of this stuff would’ve either not gotten done or would’ve been half-assed by me — maybe sometimes I’d have hired a freelancer to help. But now I just say to keep the automation ideas coming because my time is no longer the limiting factor.
