I think it's more natural than you might think. For example, my company laid off a lot of people to try to be profitable, and now they pay me more but I have a smaller team with tighter deadlines. I have no choice but to use gpt for a lot of my analysis, design, and code- which I've gotten pretty used to over the past year in my hobby time

The way I see it, if you code without it, you won't compete with the speed and value.

And they are not going to back fill those roles

Can you give some of your usecases? Is it involved stuff or mostly boilerplate? Curious how a team lead uses this tech.

I’m not knocking the parent post here for not replying. But of the 4 or so times on HN that I’ve seen someone been asked to provide detail, I haven’t seen a single answer. I’m not on here a ton but do people tend not to check back?

I’ll admit my bias of having seen enough vacuous industry hype over the years to be naturally skeptical. Heck, I worked in a marketing department once where I helped manufacture the stuff (forgive me father for I have sinned, in my defense they did fire me after three months in a layoff). But my few personal experiences with ChatGPT were pretty disappointing and I’m actually looking for someone to tell me otherwise.

Yes I think since it requires to look up your own comments to see if you got any replies, it's quite common to not get any replies, and I'm very guilty of this myself.

My personal use of gpt4 (also daily) is: correct, rephrase spelling from my brain dump, make python plots (stylize, convert, add subplots, labels, handle indexing when things get inverted), makw short shell scripts (generated 2FA, login vpn through console using 2fa, make script of disabling keyboard etc), and help debug my code (my situation is this, here's some code, what do you suggest?).

The last part is an interesting one for people with attention deficiency disorders, like myself, where procrastination can be conquered when there's an assistant that keeps you on track.

Aha, I’ll def have to give it a whirl. My procrastination ability is world class.
