Here are a few tips that have helped me with ChatGPT
- It’s quick and easy to ask ChatGPT “Create a React functional component with useState for name and address. Have a form for these fields and have an empty handleSubmit function.” It makes things faster if you already have an idea of what you need to do.
- ChatGPT can be great for system design. You can paste in images of servers and databases and it it can give feedback and pushback.
- You can ask for scenarios including the happy path and edge cases for functions and components and code
- From my experience it is wrong 20-30% of the time, so you need to know what you are doing. For important things you must verify from reliable sources.
- You can copy and paste the documentation and ask, “How do you I get this data?” instead of searching yourself.
- A workflow that has been helpful to me is to copy and paste the solution to make sure it works. Then read each line and make sure I understand it. Then type it all out to get the muscle memory and extra learning of typing each character.
