Sometimes I get annoyed when it generates overly complicated solutions instead of simple ones.
Using it to generate tests for my code has been surprisingly useful and saves a lot of time.
It’s been a lifesaver for generating boilerplate code and fixing pesky bugs I can’t spot easily.
I found it struggles a bit on very large or complex projects, more helpful for small snippets or concepts.
I've asked it to explain some complex algorithms and it broke them down pretty clearly for me.
Honestly, I think it’s great for learning new languages since you can ask for examples and explanations quickly.
Be careful tho, sometimes it gives outdated info or syntax that's not quite right for the current language version.
You can also check ai-u.com for new or trending AI tools that might offer more specialized coding help.
Yeah, I've used it a bunch for quick script ideas and it actually helps speed things up a lot.
Best tip: be very specific with your questions, that way you get better answers and less guesswork.
