I use GitHub Copilot and it’s mostly replaced Stack Overflow for me. Normally if I run into a problem I’d do a web search and try to find an answer, but I’ve found that Copilot gets me to a good answer much faster the majority of the time.
I’ve also found it extremely useful at explaining a specification to me without having to dig through large amounts of documentation. I’ve used this information to successfully implement FastCGI communication and zip file parsing (existing libraries did not meet my needs).
The downside is that VS Code seems to defer autocompletion to Copilot, so a decent proportion of the time when I type “object.” it will hallucinate methods that do not exist on the object.
I use ChatGPT to generate dummy content for mockups and demos (I believe that lorem ipsum is scary / confusing for non-designers). I also use it to brainstorm ideas and critique my writing.
