Not really a developer but I write code in Python and Java a few times a week. Recently I had to edit some JavaScript.

I also found ChatGPT to be mostly useless. In all three languages, the only hard problems were interacting with libraries that ChatGPT knows nothing about. I really wanted to say something like “Create a function that pulls data from this internal API, calls a library function, and then displays it as a React component”, but it took more time trying to get ChatGPT to understand how the API and libraries worked that just actually writing the damn code
