I do tons of TypeScript in my side projects and in real life, and I usually feel heavy frustrations when I stray away.

When I stray out of this (e.g. I started doing a lot of IoT, ML and Robotics projects, where I can't always use TypeScript). I think one key thing that LLMs have helped me is that I can ask why something is X without having to worry about sounding stupid or annoying.

So I think it has enabled me at least a way to get out of the TypeScript zone more worry free without losing productivity. And I do think I learn a lot, although I'm relating a lot of it on my JS/TS heavy experience.

To me the ability to ask stupid questions without fear of judgment or accidentally offending someone - it's just amazing.

I used to overthink a lot before LLMs, but they have helped me with that aspect, I think a lot.

I sometimes think that no one except LLMs would have the patience for me if I didn't filter my thoughts always.




Well said. CharGPT is almost the opposite of stackoverflow -- you can ask a stupid question, and ask why a language is designed in such a way, and get nice, patient, nuanced answer without judgment or starting a war.


And how much can you trust those replies?


At least 80% of the time.

I have brains and can verify if it's correct or not.


about as much as I trust StackOverflow answers
