How much productivity gains do you think one sees from using ChatGPT in semi-serious coding? Like, how much time do you think one can save out of, say, a six-hour coding session, on average?
I save maybe 10 minutes an hour with Github Copilot. Especially when writing tests, it will auto complete things like 'I expect these two numbers to sum to X' , except those numbers are buried in a list in an object, but somehow it creates the correct sum , that I use for the expected value. The danger is, sometimes it just creates completely wrong code, and you have to diligently be checking its generated output. They should maybe include accuracy ratings with the suggestions.
Yes I save similar amounts, and I have the same issues. The thing is at 10 minutes per hour saved, OP would have taken 5 months instead of 6 to build the 300 tools. Fantastic productivity gains and I’ll take them any time of day, but the tools would’ve hardly written themselves.
