a bit off-topic, but couldn't resist:

> As a shortcut, I used GPT-3 to generate a basic typescript function for me. This let me look at TS type definitions and get a better idea of what’s available so I could get developing.

I don't know which GPT-3 tooling they were using, but Github Copilot can be _exceptional_ at generating rubbish. Autocomplete, at least for me, was seldom even syntactically correct, and never semantically correct.

See my comment re GPT above. It has saved me quite a few hours since I started using it.
