    I use ChatGPT frequently for programming and I’ve found it to be pretty good.

    The key is using it conversational nature as this gets better results.

    Start simple and expand. You can’t just ask it wrote huge chunks of code.

      Yeah works well, as long as the code is rather simple and it occurred rather often in the training set. But I seldom use it currently (got a little bit more complex stuff going on). It’s good though to find new stuff (as it often introduces a new library I haven’t known yet). But actual code… I’m writing myself (tried it often, and the quality just isn’t there… and I think it even got worse over the last couple of months as also studies suggest)
