I am a ChatGPT .NET developer
Is ChatGPT taking over the world and our work as a developer?
Introduction
A world of robots & AI… it seems it becomes more of a reality every day. We don’t see the robots like in “I, Robot” yet, but for sure AI is already here. They are not self-aware yet, or they are really quiet about it… 😉
In the ever-changing tech world, developers are always on the lookout for tools that can make their lives easier. Meet ChatGPT, your personal coding assistant available 24/7. As a freelance .NET developer who loves functional programming, ChatGPT could be a cool addition to your coding adventures.
The Marvels of ChatGPT
ChatGPT, created by OpenAI, is like having your own coding buddy. Got stuck on a C# problem? ChatGPT is here to help, making it feel like you’re pair programming without the awkwardness.
Sarcastic Humor: A Developer’s Best Friend
As a .NET developer, you’re familiar with bugs and confusing error messages. ChatGPT not only knows its code but also adds a bit of sarcastic humor to the mix. Imagine getting a response like, “Oh, you thought that would work? Cute.” It’s like having a witty friend who knows their way around code.
Functional Programming with a Flair
Being a fan of functional programming, you’ll appreciate how ChatGPT can give you answers in a straightforward style. No need for long explanations; get straight to the point with code snippets that are both elegant and efficient. Who said functional programming couldn’t be fun?
Performance: Because Waiting is Overrated
In the fast-paced coding world, speed is essential. ChatGPT gets it. No need to wait around; get your answers quickly and efficiently. It’s like having a coding genie that grants your wishes before you can finish saying “Lambda.”
Conclusion
As a freelance .NET developer exploring React, Haskell, and functional programming, adding ChatGPT to your toolkit might be just what you need. Enjoy the banter, appreciate the functional snippets, and let the coding adventures unfold. Being a ChatGPT .NET developer is not just about code; it’s about adding a touch of flair, humor, and top-notch performance to your coding journey. Happy coding!
You maybe already expected so, but almost everything in this blog post has been generated by ChatGPT. I gave the input, and I have my own profile in ChatGPT. To be honest, yes, I am using ChatGPT. It keeps me learning how to change my code in a better way. I like the “dialog” with the AI. It’s way better than searching with Google and Stack Overflow.
But… big but!… it’s not always great! And I can’t express this too often. It ain’t bulletproof; it makes mistakes, and some mistakes aren’t visible directly. So please, don’t think it will give you production code. Also, your input is important to get a good working solution. So you really need to understand the questions(!) you are asking. So be warned and be careful when using it! (Is this bold enough for you? ;-))
Give it a try and let me know what you think about ChatGPT.
