Building a Personal Web Page in Hours, Not Days, with GPT-4
If you've been following my posts, you'll know I'm an very passionate on AI, Large Language Models, ChatGPT and GPT-4. Eager to test GPT-4's coding capabilities, I had the idea to revamp my outdated personal web page. Having been well-acquainted with Django and Bootstrap, and being a Python ninja, I thought these tools would serve me best for this project.
Inquisitively, I sought advice from GPT-4:
Unbeknownst to me, it's possible to generate a static website from your Django project using a tool like django-distill, and subsequently host it on GitHub Pages. This revelation presented itself as the perfect solution.
Without further ado, I submitted my prompt to GPT-4. To my delight, GPT-4 provided a detailed outline on how to initiate this task:
Curious and eager to keep the momentum, my subsequent prompts were centered around the next steps:
Interestingly, GPT4 was able to assist me in debugging. Whenever I encountered issues, I simply pasted the error messages into the prompt, and GPT4 would provide me with solutions:

Furthermore, I found GPT4 extremely helpful in refining my content, by condensing verbose paragraphs into more web-friendly formats:
In the end, I felt a profound sense of gratitude towards GPT-4 for enabling me to create my personal webpage with such ease and efficiency.
Conclusion
The coding and debugging capabilities of GPT4 are simply astounding. Had I started this project from scratch without GPT4, it would've taken me at least five times longer. In my opinion, GPT4 is much better than StackOverflow, and I foresee myself utilizing GPT4 substantially more in the future.
GPT4 has the potential to significantly boost software productivity. I can't stress enough how beneficial it would be for anyone involved in coding. It's like having StackOverflow, but with the perfect answer every time.
Beyond that, GPT4 offers valuable recommendations on which services to use. Prior to this project, I did not know django-distill and the ability to generate static pages.
This is undoubtedly the future of coding, and there's no turning back.
