I'm doing pretty great "pairing" with ChatGPT.
I don't need help coding. That's my core skill!
But I do need a lot of help with how packages/libraries/languages work, and ChatGPT can usually give a decent answer in a minute that could have taken me hours of deeply frustrating searches.
- amelius 2y agoThe "hallucinations" can also be frustrating, though.
- BurningFrog 2y agoThey do happen, but that happens when I work with humans as well. I won't blindly trust either partner, and at least ChatGPT isn't insulted when I check if it is right :)
- wwalexander 2y agoIndeed. ChatGPT has been extremely valuable for “what’s the right way to glue these two iOS frameworks released a decade apart together” for me.
- GuB-42 2y agoI also find that ChatGPT works well for documentation. I don't need help coding either, as for you, it is may core skill. However, I am not a great writer, and not a native English speaker, and I find that ChatGPT is better than I am at this. It is after all, a large language model, it is really good with words, it is what it is designed to do, more so than problem solving. I usually feed it my code and let it document it, if it gets it wrong, I correct it, add some context,... Essentially, ChatGPT is my editor (the job, not the software).
- BurningFrog 2y agoThat's an interesting idea. I look at hard to understand code pretty often. Maybe ChatGPT can be helpful there too.
