Ask HN: Have you started leveraging AI in your coding process?

1 points| djlewald | 3 years ago | reply

With things like ChatGPT bringing AI back to the forefront, a lot of the predicitons seem to be that (right now) AI isn't going to take over. But people that are good at leveraging AI will.

So was curious to hear this crowd's thoughts on AI tooling that is available to developers.

Yes, I've been using Google to search for solutions to programming problems for years.

No, it's pretty stupid.. If ChatGPT can do it correctly, it's so trivial that I don't need it..

I tried two things we had already done at work.

(1) parsing git timestamps with python 3.6 where ChatGPT got us the answer faster than sifting through Google results.

(2) a really tricky concurrency problem on Jenkins. ChatGPT gave the correct steps to solve in 2 questions.

I'm also impressed with its potential as a writing assistant

Have you tried ChatGPT?
