Remember everyone. 5 hours of ChatGPT will always save you 5 minutes of stackoverflow

If I had to choose, it would be chatGPT

Unless you ask it to use stackoverflow references

@kobenz thanks for the tip. I found a stack overflow GPT. Answered as expected.

If u ask question clearly and specifically most of the time chatgpt will produce correct answer

Today i searched for complex sql probelm in google. No luck finding solution or ideas to start.
But i asked to gpt with examples of input and output and it gave correct solution.

@shbclm yh, but even if you don't put much effort in your question it responds pretty well. Some of my questions are quite vague. I often ask how to spell smth by giving my misspelled word that even Google doesn't parse 😂

@shbclm but for simple things writing that clear and very specific prompt costs more time than going to stackoverflow

@shbclm DELETE OK (104350263 rows affected)

@mostr4am Guak Tuah!

Uh, I was skeptical at first (years ago), but now I don't think I even remember the last time I went on stackoverflow. Past actual developer docs and ChatGPT, I never needed to google or search for anything, and I solve every stupid problem at 10x the speed I used to. I don't even shy away from admitting it to my juniors as their director. However, I've seen how they use it, turns out if you're a bad developer, you'll also be bad at prompting chatgpt to write what you need. You need to be good at.. LANGUAGE and PRECISELY and CONCISELY telling it exactly what you need. Case in point, someone who knows how SQL works under the hood asking for a complicated query vs someone who just wants to "get some columns out".

Aaaand otherwise
