I’m using ChatGPT more and more for coding help. Sometimes I don’t fully trust the answer and double check with Google or Stack Overflow. Today the AI produced some code that I thought it must have completely hallucinated… Does this even work technically? But it ran perfectly.

@manton Have you tried Github copilot? It's quite magical sometimes.

@miu Not yet. I think I prefer asking questions and copy/pasting code as needed, at least for now.

@manton I’m a newbie dev and I spend *a lot* of time writing the prompt so I can get the right result.

As a side effect I’m now thinking much deeper about how my UI should work. I ask it to explain each line and it’s absolutely the best teacher on earth for code.

it’s great imo especially when i’m working outside my expertise. it doesn’t always hit the mark but it raises the floor on how much i can accomplish in a space im not proficient in.
