I was writing an SVG editor web app but didn't know anything about the fabricjs api. Here's a portion of my prompts with chatgpt (april 2023 version, the date at the top is the share date). The initial code came from a different chatgpt thread.

I finished the app in 2 days, with a third day for css/visual styling. I previously might have hired someone to do this or tried to figure it out myself, which would have taken about a month.

At the end of this thread chatgpt kind of goes off the rails a bit and fails to center the uploaded image. I think this is because it can't execute the code and see its results, and can only take blind guesses at what the problem might be.

I still had to write about 10% of the code myself, but it's about 10x faster for me to use chatgpt. I think I'd use chatgpt even if it were slower, because I prefer "thinking in natural language" vs "thinking in code"

here is the final app in production: https://tinyurl.com/368w3a9y
