I get tremendous value. But only when using API:s that have ’always’ been more or less stable.

I agree, systems with rapidly evolving featureset are painful.

Successes: Git, any bash script, misc linear algebra recipes. Random debug tools in javascript (js and plain old html is stable enough). C++. C#. Sometimes Python.

Biggest value currently, I guess, is the data debug tool I wrote myself for specifically for an ongoing project.

Now, the ’value’ to me here means I don’t have to toil in some tedious, trivial task which is burdensome mainly because everybody uses different names for similar concepts, and modern computing systems are a mishmash of dozen things that work slightly differently.

So, to me ChatGPT is the idiot savant assistant I can use for a bunch of tedious and boring things that are still valuable doing.

I get paid for some niche very specific C++ stuff I’m fairly good at and like doing. But it’s the 85% of the rest of the things (like git or CMake or bash) I can’t stand.

I’m working on a nextjs project, nextjs made a bunch of breaking changes and doesn’t document things consistently or comprehensively, I have a lot of grief using LLM on this framework.

This is something framework/libs/apis should factor in for future, how can you make your project LLM friendly in order to make it dev friendly.
