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

Comments

GPT-4 is amazing for me for writing Python, Go, and Kubernetes YAML.

I have designed and implemented 8 operators with between 90-100% of the code auto generated.

I use it to generate mermaid diagrams that implement the first 3 layers of the C4 model, sometimes needing some editing or guidance to modify it, then have it generate the code.

I generate diagrams with high temperature, and code with low.

That’s my experience. I have a coworker using ChatGPT Plus (gpt-4), and they fail to get anything working. It’s not zero effort, but how I think generally aligns with the model I think.

I love having a partner to talk to about thoughts and design ideas while on walks using the ChatGPT app w/ transcription.

I have never felt more productive.

I think I fall into the 2nd category, like your co-worker. What would be your tips to actually get anything useful out of it?
