Life changer moment: I subscribed to GPT-4 and this will change the way I learn to code

I know Open AI has this ChatGPT service that provides quality responses to questions one has. I didn't know its latest version is available at USD 20 per month. I have read that the paid version is way way better, so I was curious.

Anyway, I took a plunge after some investigation, mainly to want it to help improve my coding game.

I have been wanting to improve my JavaScript. I have gotten a few books previously and some were great for learning. I thought ChaptGPT can give me some help beyond what books can give me. And the GPT-4 could be even more helpful.

Let me share what I did with ChatGPT today.

I asked it to give me a sample code and it did.

I tested it, and this works fine.

Next, to understand this code, I will need some explanation. So I ask for it.

It does seem overwhelming if one is confused about the overall approach this code has taken, so I asked it to give me some overview of it.

So that's it. I have just created for myself a small chapter for a start.

To me, it is a game changer. This will change the way I learn to code as I can dictate what I wanted to learn, and ask it to clarify what I didn't understand.

GPT can also be your therapist when you get in over your head trying to solve logic puzzles when you're trying to code something. :D

I've used the "normal" version of GPT to help me with menial tasks like editing and refining code. It's good for that. I'm not a hot shot developer, but GPT will help me be a meaner script-kiddie.

This is a very good technology and it is being used a lot nowadays and the students have also benefited a lot from it who take any new ideas according to their subject. This earlier version was not working properly and was giving wrong answers but I heard this one is working fine.

Wow, it can even add comments without any issues. It will definitely change things as people start getting use to it but I wonder if it will hurt people's knowledge on understanding how to debug things.

GPT is opening many new ways for developers and coders to get ease from prewritten code from GPT4. It's really amazing.

You should get like Obsidian (or whatever your favourite 2nd brain app is) and save everything that ChatGPT is giving you.

So powerful!

I have been thinking about it. I think it will be damn powerful!

Well it does seem to add very detailed descriptions on every piece of code.. I think that's actually a valid way of learning... Just gotta force yourself to do the coding yoirself once you've got a better idea of it ey.

This is really amazing, ever since Chat GPT-4 came out I've heard praises everywhere. I've never used it myself, but the more I've heard and seen about it, the more I want to try it.
