CLI one-liners or simple scripts are probably my main use-case. So many things I always knew were possible (and implemented in some cases in the past) but often avoided since I wasn’t sure if it would pay off that now I can do with ChatGPT. Simple things like “benchmark this endpoint and output the min/max/avg/p99 stats every 10 requests with a rolling window of 100 requests”, no it’s not hard to write that but often I just wouldn’t have to time to test out a theory so I’d skip this.
I’ve lost count (easily over 30+) times I’ve dealt with a production issue using ChatGPT to write something to better analyze the problem (parsing stuff out of logs often). A whole slew of “I wonder if…” questions that I’m able to answer in <2min vs having to spend 10-15+ if I did it all manually.
No, it’s not perfect and sometimes I need to go back and forth a few times but the overall speed up using ChatGPT is significant.
