ChatGPT Changed How I Write Software
Yeah I&#x27;m not convinced. As usual with most pro-ChatGPT posts I see, there is little to no actual useful information on how to use ChatGPT practically.<p>When I read one of these articles or posts, I usually expect to see concrete prompts, their output, and how they can be used to speed up development. Instead all I see is generic vagueisms; &quot;it helps me write unit tests&quot;, &quot;it helps me code faster&quot;, or in the case of this article &quot;it’s taken over how I plan, design, and implement software.&quot; with little to no real examples of how this works. It almost feels like people want to brag that they&#x27;ve discovered &quot;the secret sauce&quot; rather than help others understand how to use it.<p>I&#x27;ve tried multiple times now to use ChatGPT. In every case ChatGPT has produced code that has bugs, needs to be double checked, or simply straight up doesn&#x27;t work. It IS impressive how it&#x27;s able to create code that seemingly does what you ask, and it&#x27;s lightyears ahead of other products, but in no way have I found it to be a gamechanger. IMHO, at best it might steer me in the right direction, and at worst it completely wastes my time. Seems pretty overhyped to me.
