That’s not universal. For instance, last week I got help writing a bash script. But I hope they’re helping lots of you in lots of ways.

    I used chatgpt as a code monkey for a while. Let it do the repetitive work. But then I got good at using multiline editor features.

    Now I use it to “give this form some basic css” or “open a udp connection in c#”. Anything more complex or nuanced than that I find I can do better and faster.

      I ask it for help when I’m unfamiliar with a library/language or if I’m getting complex errors.

      But I always type out the code myself, making sure I’m reading each line and understanding what’s happening.

      Even for boilerplate if you just let the ai go at it, it’ll generate a Frankenstein boilerplate of an outdated standard.
