How ChatGPT helping me @Beelab?

Shortly about my experience with ChatGPT, how I'm doing code reviews, checking for vulnerabilities and commenting the code

For the last 5-6 months, I've been busy with plannings, interviews and meetings so much that I couldn't spare time for self-dev nor coding. But, the hype got itself and I had to check ChatGPT. Quick enough after some stupid questions, I got that it could really help me a lot with coding (to keep me on track).

ChatGPT Extension for VScode

You all may heard of GitHubs copilot. If not, you should check it out, it does help in some points. But for now, I want to talk about ChatGPT extension for VSCode

Setting Up

Search for ChatGPT in Extensions and install the one by "Ali Gen?ay" (my personal choice). You can also check official website.

Now, all you have to do is use auto-login and authorize in ChatGPT. Yes, it has some limitations like slow responding (actually depends on your code, request or internet connection) but, still it's...something

This feels really cool tbh. You can add test, check for bugs, optimize or explain the code (yep! the one we all like to copy paste ????). I'm learning Rust these days and this extension is really helping me understand, comment, test and optimize my code on the go.

And here is how it works. Simply select the code snippet and choose the option

And shortly ChatGTP will respond you accordingly

Here is how it comments the code

No, AI will not take our jobs guys, relax. But, the ones who use them will. So, buckle up and start learning with ChatGPT. Ask question, use for fast learning and completing your task quickly, at least start taking some actions. And most importantly enjoy ??
