The approach I use is to have it paper out POCs. I think a huge thing that is missing is ChatGPT’s ability to make interactive code. It should theoretically be possible to write a really simple system that:

(1) makes structured requests to chat gpt based on an initial prompt. That request asks ChatGPT for all of the files associated with solving the problem.

(2) ChatGPT produces each file in a structure fashion. This could range from source files to project files like package.json or Dockerfile

(3) take code output and spin up a corresponding stack blitz or other online resource (assuming those have APIs.

I’m shocked and bummed that there’s not more effort to make this a reality yet. We’ve had ChatGPT for a month and this is low hanging fruit (or so it would seem).
