I do use ChatGPT for side projects, but only as a last resort and always as a discussion partner, not a code writer. I always tell it beforehand “no code just discussion”. The fun is in figuring out as much stuffs as possible by myself and write the implementations, and I’m not paying someone to take my fun.
But again my projects are more research than product, so maybe it’s different.
- codr7 10mo agoWhat good is a discussion partner that only has one goal, to keep the discussion going? I suspect you've found a new hobby, not improved the existing one.
- markus_zhang 10mo agoChatGPT helps me to understand some topics. It’s the same hobby but with ChatGPT replacing stackoverflow. So far it’s surprisingly better.
- codr7 10mo agoI suspect you are over estimating your ability to judge, interacting with GenAI is a major mind fuck.
