- cleversomething 6mo agowhat stack do you work in, and how are you prompting it?
- philipwhiuk 6mo agoAh, the old 'you're using it wrong'. Either it's smart or it's not.
- sleepybrett 6mo agothank you.

- cleversomething 6mo agoIn my experience it IS very smart for 90% of use cases. I'm curious to identify how someone could be using it in a way where that's not the case. I hated AI tools a year ago and now I use them every day. If someone's opinions of AI were last updated > 6 months ago I don't think they've really given it a shot.
- andirk 6mo agoI find the best use of chatbots re: software engineering is more of an office hours with the professor than it is a fellow colleague; Use it for specifics. Throwing things over the fence to it often causes a reach into the bag of garbage spaghetti code that is half the internet content.
- sleepybrett 6mo agoI've had luck with 'explain this bullshit code i need to update that no-one has touched in two years and none of the committers even works here anymore'. Getting it to actually add the feature, a bit of a crapshoot.
