Comment on Ask HN: Those with success using GPT-4 for programming – what are you doing?parent

SQL queries

Short, functional things like this I've found to really be ChatGPT's strength. For example, I had some godawful nested PHP code that had been written years ago I was trying to muck with. Asking GPT to sort it out for me took me way less time than trying to figure it out myself.

I've also used it for SQL queries and things like list comprehension, etc.

The few times I've pasted in whole code blocks and asked it to do XYZ, I've ended up basically debugging my prompt instead of my code.
