I write plain jane PHP/MySQL crud apps that people love for work, including a fitness center membership system.

Writing a new view used to take 5-10 minutes but now I can do it in 30 seconds. Since it's the most basic PHP/MySql imaginable it works very well, none of those frameworks to confuse the LLM or suck up the context window.

The point is I guess that I can do it the old fashioned way because I know how, but I don't have to, I can tell ChatGPT exactly what I want, and how I want it.

I'd be very interested to see a transcript or two of such a 30 second interaction, if you have any you could share?
They don’t because their comment in this thread took more than 30 seconds to write ;)
