Now that I use ChatGPT to write my code, I care much less about best practices. I’m a copy and paste guy now.

If anything, with ChatGPT I care more about best practices - since the minutiae is handled by our new robot colleague, I'm free to focus more on the higher-level details, including code quality and readability.
I only focus on architecture now. ChatGPT handles the rest.
I remember months ago when the majority believed ChatGPT was useless because they coded faster without it.

I never liked that argument because it can assist in something where you are not well versed. Like gamedev if you're a webdev.

Maybe GPT4 caused the sentiment change.

Seems like the worst possible way to use it is learning stuff you don't know about when you're not well versed enough to tell the hallucinations from the truth.
