    Until the code doesn’t work.

    I think AI code generation is a great tool for a lot of people, but it’s like if stack overflow could talk to you. You can get some great answers but unless you understand what you’re copying and pasting then when it breaks you’re up shits creek.

    That’s mainly why I think this prompt engineer stuff is a load of rubbish, if you’re at the point of knowing how to ask for complicated code, then you might as well write it yourself.

    But I just got back from the pub so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

      Well, yeah it’s not going to replace actual programmers (yet), but for the rest of us who just use like salesforce and excel it’s super helpful.

      But when getting errors or anything, you can return them to chatgpt and he will correct it.

      I once sent an error of a python script he made and he noticed that my company was using an older version so he corrected it.

      But I still needed to be able to read code to actually make it function in my specific thing.
