Technology

ChatGPT has been helpful in being an interactive rubber duck. I used it to help myself breakdown the technical problems that I need to solve and it helps to cut down time taken to complete a difficult ticket that usually take a couple of days of work to a couple of hours.

I’ve had similar experiences with it telling me to call functions of third party libs that don’t exists. When you tell it “That function X does not exist” it says “I’m sorry, your right fucking X doesn’t not exist on library A. here is another example using function Y” then function Y doesn’t exist either.

I have found it useful in a limited scope, but I have found co-pilot to be much more of a daily time saver.

"just good enough to be dangerous"

So? You should be testing the code it generates, a few lines of code at a time, and writing unit tests where appropriate.

By doing that, you'll quickly identify anything that it does wrong, and you can just tell it "this line didn't work". Normally you don't need to tell it how to fix it, but you can do that too.
