If you’re a developer, you’ve probably heard of GPT by now. This powerful tool has taken the tech world by storm, and it’s no surprise why. ChatGPT (which you can access for free at https://chat.openai.com/chat) is a chat bot that you can ask any question, and it will generate human-like text, making it a useful tool for all sorts of tasks.

In this blog post, we’ll be exploring 3 ways that chat GPT can help developers in their day-to-day tasks, saving time and helping you write better code.

1) Debugging and pair programming

We all know the pain of being stuck on a bug or needing some programming advice. No matter how specific or general your request may be, ChatGPT can be extremely helpful in debugging your code or pointing you in the right direction. Some examples of questions you can ask include:

  • “Can you spot the bug in this code?”
  • “Write me a function that maps all values from type A to type B”
  • “Where should I start if I want to build a personal website?”
  • “Can you write me some unit tests for this code?”
  • “I want my navbar to be pinned to the top, but it doesn’t seem to be working. Can you help?”
