    In my experience about 1 percent of suggestions are of that quality, and that’s only for snippets of a few lines of code at most. It almost certainly wastes more time than it saves.

      I’m a hobbyist, but I’ve found it to be pretty helpful. Seems like main thing is chunking requests down.

      If it’s a domain I’m completely unfamiliar with then it’s not a good fit because I’m no longer able to identify where it’s gone off the rails.

        What does “chunking requests down” mean?

          Just splitting something up into smaller tasks.

          I’m sure I don’t need to tell you, but you wouldn’t be like “chatgpt write me an app for telling me the weather” you’d be like “I’m building an app in such and such a framework and working with such and such an API, how would I format this request” (or whatever)
