I use ChatGPT on Daily Basis. Since i am only one in the Company that working on this Project.
It's Awesome. It accelerated my Work so much.
It can even writing Code in Solid Principles and Keep Code Clean.

Alternative prompt for interview prep.

Prompt it to: "Act like an interviewer during the coding interview for a software developer entry level position. First you will give an interview question, and I will respond. When I respond, give some feedback about what you think I did well and how else I may go about doing it."

Stephen Wolfram (Mathematica) said that if they printed a book with all of Mathematica's features it would be 50k pages long, so he wrote a small book that teaches the reader how to learn the rest. ChatGPT is the next evolution of this. In programming we tend to generate a lot of "temporary knowledge" like this, and ChatGPT is the mechanism to aggregate all of this for us.

Yeah, its sometimes a better stack overflow. Only ever being given one single answer is a challenge vs doing your own research. Use it too much and, oh boy, code problems.

Thanks Bobby! Im going to be using this all day while learning to code.

Another major concern is these platforms getting access to production code as people copy paste things in while using these tools. We've already seen fallout from this and we know that openAI keeps a copy of everything put into chatGPT unless you specifically opt out.

Biggest things I use it for are:

1. explaining existing code
2. showing work-flow of complex processes (not the code, but the process)
3. delineating data-points for various data models (often keeps me from missing something important)
3a. converting that response into a format I can import into my app, be it Monday, Excel, or JSON
4. scope of various business needs (TOS, Privacy Statements, etc.)

It is a great tool, but, just like a hammer, it isn't right for every task.

Great video! Bobby only said "GTP" a handful of times. Also I wish it would have used GPT4 more since it produces better results. But this is still impressive with 3.5
