My brother in Christ that’s why you ask questions on stack overflow
Just so they can close my question I’ve spent an hour writing as a duplicate of an unrelated question?

Or worse: “Nevermind, I got it working”
Or
When your issue is the same as the other person’s but then the way produced it is completely different.
at least that way u can compare simiarities and try to find the cause
Or even worse: 1 result, the source code on github where the error message is thrown
I had one of those recently with MicroPython. Turns out I am the only person to ever run out of memory on an ESP8266.
bc ur running python
did you ever get a a useful answer from ChatGPT? I never did.
If you ask chatGPT a question which is in any way niche, it will catastrophically fuck up the answer or give you the “As an AI language model” scold
chatgpt is utterly horrible at Minecraft commands, it just throws out pseudocode lol
My experience too. The few times I’ve been stuck and decided to try chatgpt, it’s been completely unhelpful, at best suggesting basic things that I checked within the first 5 minutes of troubleshooting.
That was the best case. Worst case it’d sprout some plausible looking nonsense that took time to check and dismiss.
yes just need good prompts
It takes more time to engineer prompts than to solve the actual problem.
Only for well known stuff. If I can’t find anything useful on the Internet, ChatGPT will start talking bullshit. Sometimes hard to catch but most of the time there’s a reason why I still don’t understand: it was utter BS.

And then ChatGPT gives you some nonsense that doesn’t actually work.
Welcome to programming for consoles. No stackoverflow, no google. Only official docs and internal forums.
at least theres docs
What is this, c/nosleep?
I barely even use stackoverflow anymore since GPT-4 arrived.
To discover a never before seen error. I love that feeling
Or worse the only google result is to a forum conversation for your core framework that has been open for 8 years and has never been fixed
No results from StackOverflow: you’re either doing something really stupid or something cutting edge. ChatGPT is good for determining which of those it is haha
Only search result is a post you made 10 years ago asking the same question.

How about doing your job instead of copypasting shit? Jeez.
Well someone wishes they could do programing I see.
Googling solutions to your problems is literally the core skillet for debugging
