As a grayhead who does not code daily anymore, I was impressed with ChatGPT as a programming sidekick. It's like having an on-call junior developer who only costs $20/mo.

I needed a quick and dirty utility developed last month and by breaking the problem down into 4-5 steps myself I got ChatGPT to write functions for those steps and then I bolted them together. Most of it went smooth but one part took far too much coaxing and refinement before it generated the right thing.
