    This. As a software engineer it has really reduced the mental load when starting a new project from scratch. I can quickly come up with the skeleton for a project and any boilerplate functions and just focus on making things work.

      I messed around with it back when it was apparently better than it is now, and it sucked ass. Fed me outdated info, broken code, and overall was a nightmare.

      Tried it recently real quick because I was converting my code, and I didn’t want to dig in the documentation, and the info ChatGPT spit out was 100% false. Not even broken, just wrong.

        I feed it the relevant documentation first. It has large enough context size to handle it. But even that’s unnecessary as long as you’re not using a niche library.
