ChatGPT made my life easier! 😌
Now I'm the 10x Developer LinkedIn People talked about. 😎
Though I didn't find Bard as responsive as ChatGPT! 🫠

With all due respect, piss off bro.

@Sid2006 I won't. 🥱

you're a clown 🫠

how are you using chatgpt during development?

@thebiochemic The usual way, copy paste whatever code it tells you to write and just cross fingers and hope it works.

sorry, but if chatGPT made your results _that much_ better, then you had to be a shitty dev in the beginning.

@tosensei You're right! 😥 You can check my previous rants for not being a good programmer or dev. 😩

It's a glorified search engine bruh.
Only thing I use it for is to generate larger regexes.

@Nanos i'm not against using tools. it's just, like in every profession: if the tools are the main source of productivity, and not your own skills, you're not that good at the profession in question.

I asked Bing's AI how to add an emoji to an Excel MsgBox. And it told me; but the code didn't work and, according to SO, it's actually impossible to show an emoji in a MsgBox. So I ask the same AI if it's true, that it can't be done? AI confirms to me that it has just offered code that will never work. This tool made you a 10x dev? I don't think so.

@Ranchonyx last time I checked it's awful with regexes
Insisted that `aa?` matches 0 or 1 a characters even after I told it multiple times it's 1 or 2

@Sid2006 stack overflow is too hard for you?

@Ranchonyx I use it for more things, like to get patterns name. I paste the code and I ask "which pattern is this?", Google would fail at this.

Otherwise the gold rule is "if it's not in the first Google result page, ChatGPT won't be useful".

@spongegeoff that is the main problem with the AI. It will find a relation between image and MsgBox that will work, just convert some crappy c++ code into vba and tells you that it will work in Excel.

Perfect language model ;)

Guys, I think this user might actually be AI.

@PepeTheFrog is this the start of global control ? posting random stuff on linkedin xD

They should go do that on Twitter next.

It made my life easier too. I can ask it to write examples of how to do something and paste it into my code. Although you still need to be a good programmer - 1. to know what pieces to ask for 2. to recognize if the things it produces won't work, and why.

It works especially good if you're looking for something that's kind of specific and combines 2 or more different topics in some way that's a bit too specific to find an example for on SO or github.

Or use it to write micro-components.

eg: Print 'Hi' only mon-fri 8am-5pm:

from datetime import datetime

now = datetime.now()

day_of_week = now.weekday()

hour = now.hour

if day_of_week >= 0 and day_of_week <= 4 and hour >= 7 and hour < 18:

print('Hi')

Then put whatever you want in place of the print statement.

@JS-Guy Same here. I don't just blindly put the solution and expect it to work. 😅 I take my time to validate the domain knowledge I've acquired. Sooner or later you will have to accept that you will be using AI in your day-to-day life, even if you don't want to. 😅 The way these people are throwing random stuff at me is beyond my thinking. And, telling me I'm not a good programmer or dev, like proving themselves they are the good programmers who exist in this world. 🤷‍♂️ I don't wanna be a good programmer if it makes me this much arrogant. 🤗 I'm happy being a normal, average person who loves learning.

@cypher-clown @JS-Guy
there is one very important distinction to be made:

- the programmer who has no idea and is using the tools available, and potentially misusing them, or building software in a working, yet either unmaintainable or inefficient way (which the good programmers, as you call them have to untangle at the end of the day). These people balooning their ego based on the features the tools provide them, without having anything to offer themselves.

- the programmer who has done all that shit without fancy editors and/or tools first, built his/her software with a mere texteditor, and is now enjoying the benefits of the tools with extensive knowledge in their head. These people can and will fix your software, in case the internet goes out, VSCode doesnt work, etc.

Don't fool yourself in believing that good programmers are arrogant. They warn you to become dependent on a technology that might stick around or dissapear the very moment, with you having nothing left.

@Nanos literally no skill. at the assembly line, you literally just provide work force.

@Nanos well, that's a brain-failure in quality control ;)

my state right now 🥴
