No, ChatGPT made you the money that your app generated since you had no ability to implement it otherwise/without ChatGPT. Your inability to code, debug, log, monitor cost you the $10k. ChatGPT is net positive in this story.
1. Forward thinking
2. Maturity
3. Temperance
All important traits in engineers and founders
instead of `bug: fix blah`, it's `:bug:: fix blah`, which, honestly actually seems clearer and easier to parse at a glance

> Our project was originally full stack NextJS but we wanted to first migrate everything to Python/FastAPI.
> What happened was that as part of our backend migration, we were translating database models from Prisma/Typescript into Python/SQLAlchemy. This was really tedious. We found that ChatGPT did a pretty exceptional job doing this translation and so we used it for almost the entire migration.
ChatGPT wasn't a net positive if they wouldn't have tried to do this migration up-front without it.
Possibly they had better error logging in the other stack, possibly they didn't, possibly they needed it less because they were actually writing the code for it themselves and knew how it worked.
("Write all the code a second time before turning on monetization" is itself an interesting decision, of course.)
