6 Ways To Become A More Efficient Web Developer Using ChatGPT
As a web developer I used ChatGPT every day it’s such an amazing resource.
Although ChatGPT is an incredible tool for web developers, its not always going to give you the correct answer. You still need to read through the replies yourself, sense check them and sometimes even make changes to get where you want.
Below is a list of the most common ways I use CahtGPT in my everyday working life.
Got an error in your code?
Paste your code in to ChatGPT and ask it whats causing the error — it will probably be able to tell you and give you suggestions to fix it. There is a limit to how much code it will accept, but you can always break it down and submit it in smaller parts.
Don’t understand the code your working on?
- paste it into ChatGPT and ask it to explain the code to you. ChatGPT is a great teacher!
Still don’t understand some of the code?
- Ask ChatGPT to explain the parts you don't understand in more detail. You can always ask for it to be used in relevant examples too.
You have written some code but think its a bit long winded? or you need to DRY(Don’t Repeat Yourself) your code
- Ask ChatGPT to simplify your code for you.
Know how to write code in one language but need it in another?
