My interest was piqued and I’ve been trying ChatGPT Pro for the last week. It’s interesting and the deep research did a pretty good job of outlining a strategy for a very niche multiplayer turn based game I’ve been playing. But this article reminded me to change next month’s subscription back to the premium $20 subscription.

Luckily work just gave me access to ChatGPT Enterprise and O1 Pro absolutely smoked a really hard problem I had at work yesterday, that would have taken me hours or maybe days of research and trawling through documentation to figure out without it explaining it to me.

what kind of problem was it?

Authorization policy vs authorization filters in a .NET API. It’s not something I’ve used before and wanted permissive policies (the db to check if you have OR permissions vs AND) and just attaching attributes so the dev can see at a glance what lets you use this endpoint.

It’s a well documented Microsoft process but I didn’t even know where to begin as it’s something I hadn’t used before. I gave it the authorization policy (which was AND logic, and was async so it’d reject it any of them failed) said “how can I have this support lots of attributes” and it just straight up wrote the authorization filter for me. Ran a few tests and it worked.

I know this is basic stuff to some people but boy it made life easier.
