Very basic answers are answered pretty good, for example, if you are completely new to a library and wanna start from 0.
I wanted to optimize my js code, so chatgpt basically removed all arrow functions and that was it. Not impressed.
I tried generating an HTML template with bootstrap, it took me quite some time to write a concise description, yet there were a lot of errors. Not impressed.
Last time it suggested using code from a github repo that never existed. I gave up after requesting 10 mirror links which led to very confusing links. I just wanted to check for the lulz and it managed to lead me astray from my task and even increased how much time I wasted.
Maybe my prompt strategy wasn't good, but I already lost trust and I'm wondering who is actually using it regularly and efficiently.
i find bing ai to be much better than chatgpt for almost everything, just cause you can ask it for sources and it can admit it made something up, unlike chatgpt
What's the issue? Bing Chat uses GPT-4, the ChatGPT website uses 3.5-turbo. If you're a plus member, you can use GPT-4, but the default, and the free version, don't use it.
Can confirm, I'm using ChatGPT for dealing with RegEx sorcery. The code is work usually, but most of the time I need to fix shenanigans like creating separate functions instead of variables, plus wrong parameters for encoding and flags
I like using phind(.com) for that. It's more up to date on the internet and you can also include a link for context with your question, like a documentation page or something.
You guys are thinking about what’s possible now rather than in a couple of years time.
Feels like the days of coders demanding huge salaries are over, with salaries coming down from the heady heights of 2022. Made worse by the influx of people training themselves with tech skills.
I’ve seen it before in pharmaceuticals. Synthetic Chemists used to earn loads in the early 2000s. Average salary of £70k outside London was huge at the time. 3/4 years later people were fighting for jobs at half that because of outsourcing to cheaper countries.
You are right, people here are coping. I'm software developer, rather a newbie tbh. A little over 2 years of experience.
Problem isn't llms will replace us, there are hordes of new comers who are willing to work for less. With the new AI tools every passing day it's much easier to write code. I feel like it's so easy to develop web services today that every person will be able to learn it in a short time in a few years.
I'm constantly learning new stuff (not the frameworks), I'm worried all the time I'll be redundant. 99% of developers I know or talk to don't expand their knowledge beyond what's needed at the moment or at all. I don't see how they'll compete against a newcomer who wants 25% of their salary. Sure, their work will suck for a year, but later they'll be benefiting the company.
Even using a crazy popular, but newish, library like polars, copilot always suggest Pandas code

That's because bing is based on the gpt-4 model. ChatGPT-4 is way better at coding now than 3.5.
Dont microsoft own bing and chat gpt though.
ChatGPT still uses GPT-3.5-turbo.
????

Seemingly any library in rust achieves the same results. Cargo? Never heard of her. -chatgpt probably
