I have maybe 40 years experience of software development in every language conceivable from assembler to Visual Basic.

ChatGPT4 does 50% of my coding for me. And 90% of finding my stupid errors.

There was a function I had a couple of days ago that had some gnarly SQL in it and it now needed to return two variables instead of one. I just looked at the code and sighed because of the effort I knew it would take to refactor the SQL and the surrounding code.

Then I pasted it into GPT and wrote half a sentence on what the changes were and it spat out 100% perfect version of exactly what I needed.

One of the only downsides is that GPT's data is out-of-date, especially as I'm working under some tools that only really came out since its cut-off. So I often have to adapt its output.
