No Reddit, no Stack Overflow. Thankfully, documentation and manuals are still on various platforms and not a single website.

Crap, ChatGPT is down too, guess I'm not getting anything done today.

you were not getting anything done anyways with that

You are using it wrong

Or they're just doing something that's actually original and doesn't appear in the training data a million times already.

Why are you doing something that hasn't been done a million times before? Suspicious. You're using it wrong.

I'm probably doing my whole profession wrong. I should just shit out cookie cutter web apps and try to sucker VCs into funding them, just to make off with the dough. I could do it all from my couch now. ChatGPT webapp, ChatGPT some slides and stuff and just hire an actor to go do the pitch meeting in California for me.

Check my comment above.

Let's check one of today's 450 useless Twitter threads about how to use it the right way, then.

How about not being negative and sarcastic about this?

I’ve found practical ways for example mass data manipulation tasks where GPT saved me quite a lot of time.

You can find smaller tasks in your workflow as well which can be outsourced to GPT.

How is "you're using it wrong" anything other than negative and unconstructive? You reap what you sow.

I mean you are right, but do we really want to keep being snarky or maybe we can course correct and try being productive instead?

Many many projects host on readthedocs.com. So that's another major failure point.

It's good practice to keep docs on your own machine... no need for it to be only available online.

Agreed. I do that when possible.

Most SO pages can be viewed with google’s cached page feature.

I've been using the same programming language for the last 20 years. I don't need any of that crap :-Þ
