ChatGPT Will TRANSFORM How You Learn to Code

[@AndySterkowitz]

Have you started using ChatGPT yet? What is the most interesting/fascinating/mind-blowing thing you've discovered?

[@nick0424]

I have asked it questions and learned so many things. It's like reading a really well written article. Amazing.

[@Kai_Ning]

Yeah, i did that a week after its release. I've been meaning to really learn coding since what, 2020 but never really managed to spend time within an ide and just going through most common python book. I've read a few, watched enough videos to understand basics of OOP and all the other things beginners books explain. I just wasn't finding myself doing stuff with it. First time i actually spent a week "coding" or more like fumbling around with code was with chatGPT, trying to refine the same basic python program to be satisfactory. What i took from that week is that it was more important to "design" the program flow chart and how to explain it clearly to get a result than to ask chatGPT to write you specific python functions from scratch if you're a total noob. It's wild to me. What Asimov described in his novels may come to be during our lifetime. Coding by just speaking, no code manipulation needed, to a computer. We're clearly not there yet at all. But we'll probably get there eventualy and all that will matter will be the ability to design and give clear instruction to the AI. Coding will probably be 90% problem solving and 10% "grammar" check from the code generated by the AI very soon though. I wonder how it will impact the industry tbh.

[@connormilne9739]

It's really good at explaining errors and how the code works.

[@songlore4617]

the three features I find most useful are asking it how I would go about creating such and such project using these coding languages, getting my code reviewed, and after hours upon hours of researching and attempts, using it to ask why my code isn't working. (I got stuck on one project problem for weeks and that's why I'm impressed with this feature).

[@pastorsrule]

I paid for a service to provide me with challenges from a beginner level for javascript. After less than a week I thought to myself, "why don't I just ask chatGPT to provide me with challenges?" And BOOM! No more paid subscription for me :) I'll admit that a subscription does give a bit higher quality experience, but at my level the difference is marginal. Happy that chatGPT is endlessly creative in this area.

[@isnull_or_empty]

Lot of people in the comments questioning whether it's worth learning to code because Chat GPT could do the work in "two seconds" or whatever. One thing Chat GPT is seriously missing is context of actual business problems. For example, I work as a Software Engineer for a storage company. Chat GPT is literally useless for a solid portion of my work other than generating tedious boiler plate code or reminding me how something works in a tool/programming language. It can't solve any of the real complex problems that I am required to solve because it doesn't have the context or business know how to do so. I wouldn't be worried so much. Just keep learning and use Chat GPT as a tool to make your life easier and understand things better.

I am a student and I've started to use it to clarify concepts I had a hard time to wrap my head around it. Works like a charm. If you use chatgpt as a personal assistant, it will 10x your productivity.

[@ex0stasis72]

I find that I learn best when there are jokes weaved through the answer. So I have ChatGPT make it funny. I also tell ChatGPT to give absurd analogies that no one would ever think of when explaining the concepts. My favorite college professor did this, and now I can have ChatGPT emulate his style.

[@wscrivner]

I just started playing with it this past weekend and it's pretty amazing. I didn't realize it had the ability to analyze code! I'm looking forward to using some of the suggestions from the video to supplement learning and to experiment with new ways to use it. Use caution though - sometimes it will give out misleading or flat out false information but present it in a way that sounds believable.

[@AndySterkowitz]

Good point..chat GPT can be flat out wrong sometimes.

[@camb546]

In a few years we’ll be looking back at this thinking “that didn’t last long”. It’s going to be the coding guru everyone uses

[@Chris-ki2dx]

Oh yeah, I discovered ChatGPT like a three days ago and I've been absolutely blown away by it, it's SO good. And it can be funny too.

[@AndySterkowitz]

Same. It’s only going to get better…definitely interesting and scary 😊

[@visionaeon]

Wow! I asked GPT to number 10 projects for Web Dev. Then I asked for the 3 easiest to start as a beginner e it gave me a very fair answer. Then I asked for the 3 hardest and it was extremity coherent and precise (game and e-commerce were 2 of what I can remember). Then I asked for a HTML CSS code for a junior web Dev resume and it showed me a code that I, as a beginner, already knew how to do but never connected the right pieces to do so. It showed me that I can do it.

[@chrisj0]

Enjoyed this video. Apparently I was living under a rock. I had a coworker mention chat gpt to me the other day and this really helped.

[@95fyken]

What kind of color theme is this guy using when coding ? i love it omg!!!! 03:25

[@yuzhang9938]

I have used ChatGPT for about two weeks. It's great.

[@AyeJay-fe8pq]

that's exactly what i do when i get stuck, i spend hours sometimes a whole day before i turn to chatgpt to help me solve the problem. doing this really does help me understand the code and sometimes opens my mind to how make changes to make it more efficient.

[@CharityDiary]

I use it a lot for work, in a more coding-for-engineering environment, and in my experience, it's sooo bad at coding. I've seen it call functions that don't exist, try to import a Python module in R, start two separate lines of code in the same line, and even use the entirely wrong boolean operators. I have literally not had it write *one* block of code anywhere close to correctly. I've even asked it to write a simple linear interpolation function and it ended up declaring its variables using duplicate names, so not only was the function useless, but I couldn't even tell what the AI's intention was. So no, it's not gonna be taking anyone's job anytime soon, and I would really only recommend using it if you already know a fair amount of coding and just want to see if it has any novel ideas for the project you're working on. Using it to actually write code, or to learn, will be equally frustrating and time-consuming.

[@wordsyo]

It sucks at writing code

[@hydrohasspoken6227]

You doing it wrong. I am not an engineer but it has created till date 13 Bots for me. Working like charm.

[@JG27Korny]

I think the AI just hates you LOL.

[@AaronBowley]

i dropped out of college for computer science because the pace of the classes just couldn’t keep up with my stupid mind but chatGPT is exactly why i left i looooove having a personal tutor i can ask any dumb question or prompt and learn from any idea i have, it’s amazing

[@strykeplaysmcjohnpickhypix1205]

Aaron Bowley I’m also not going to college but to learn front end development. I’m just worried if ChatGPT will decrease the demand for coders (not replace them but make it harder to get a job)?

[@rockmetalband]

@@strykeplaysmcjohnpickhypix1205 it will be easier to get a job as a programmer, just think chatgtp as the experience we programmers always needed for.

[@smedlap8789]

I was paying a guy from Fivver when I got stuck on a recent personal project. Then I would dissect his code to learn about what he did to make it work. I started using Chatbot and would ask him the same sort of things and it just tells me straight up with snippets of code. Needless to say, I am no longer paying for help. 🤣

[@bagery]

I haven't been able to get it to do much yet before it just quits. It did fix a simple function and write me a nice resume summary.

[@tonyoallie]

At 2:14. I understood Global and local scope which is similar to ownership with rust. Watching these videos, going over the code I'm slowly getting it.

[@TDOTSE1]

Great video Andy! What I noticed is the prompts you give is seriously important for chatGPT. Either way makes coding more fun

[@abunaserabdullah2617]

Chat GPT does not have its own thoughts or concepts, it is just good at recognizing patterns (For now) , So I think there is plenty of room for us to work, and I don't think it is going to change that soon. BTW, you have no way of knowing if any of the comments were actually written by chat gpt .

[@EricBrooksDotCom]

It's amazing. It comments and explains each line of code and what it does. It also found shorter and more effective ways to execute what I wrote.

The advent of ChatGPT, in particular its current "threat" upon the livelihood of many writers in Hollywood (and elsewhere, of course), is the catalyst for my trajectory into learning to code. Thanks ChatGPT (and Thanks! Andy for this video)!

[@thedude7319]

I love having ChatGPT as a general assistant, it helps amazingly. the only problem is either with controversial projects or the stuff it gets wrong but luckily you can corret it

[@RomainDelmaire]

I'm learning Python to improve productivity at work and C# to play with Unity at home. Using ChatGPT for both and it's an incredibly powerful learning tools. I'm asking it to give me exercises, I ask it to expand on subject I don't quite fully understand or guide me through something I don't know yet how to do and then ask it to explain it to me. All that is already possible with Google, but the time saved by not going through dozens of forum posts trying to find the right answer is really valuable. Also whenever I have an error or something just doesn't work, I can feed it the information and it's going to give me different reasons why it's not working. It's actually a lot more fun learning this way.

[@SAINTHACKS]

Hi Mr. Andy, I hope you're doing well! I've been trying to learn Python on my own and I was wondering if you could make a video about some great books for self-study. I've been struggling to find good resources and I think your expertise would be invaluable in this area. Thank you for all the amazing content you create!

[@raph9483]

Actually ask chat-gpt it will point out of the 10 best books about the subject. If you ask him to give you 1 or 5 it will give you the answer and explanation why.

[@wyomingcreations8824]

As a creative person I have BURNING questions that hold up the show when I want to know I am overwhelmed and distracted by it. I am learning to code and ChatGPT has helped me understand so many things. I am learning C and pointers and ya IM moving to javascript as soon as I finish w3 C code Im moving to Javascript. I have a head start I am a computer tech and I know how to setup xxamp and virtual machines + ubuntu servers. I use wordpress and make websites so taking your advice Im heading into javascript. I use blender a LOT so im going to learn python as well.

[@khlaunpattankar3287]

It is going to kind of replace google search in some sense. For example, when we know the exact question but have to surf through different articles in search for solutions. This will give us that solution without much effort.

[@saeidvaygani]

also whenever an error happens and we do not know the explanation of the code editor! Chat GPT can explain it so smoothly. as you said if we use it alot, it really makes our brain lazy. we should use it as an along instructor.

[@robertstump7899]

its also really good when learning new syntax. For things like Hash Sets and Lists and Arrays in Java that have the same methods basically but different syntax. put() versus add() but you're new and forget which is which. ChatGPT can work like an interactive searchable documentation. So ask, what is the syntax for the method for a standard input like this or that etc etc etc This is especially good if you have some experience in one language and you want to learn another. You know what to do but not the syntax. Bam. Or you have the algorithm but you don't know the syntax. Bam. Its a great tool when you use to assist what you are doing and not to ask it to do the thing for you.

The only reason I'm hesitant to use it is because I don't want to be reliant on an AI to reinforce my thinking. It feels more rewarding to find the sources myself, and that Is a skill in itself. If chat gpt can solve every puzzle for you instantly, or even just point you in yhe right direction, how are you supposed to get along in an environment when you don't have it?

[@noxid86]

yes, but you could say the same for having a teacher

[@JG27Korny]

Those concerns are legit. But the video miss one very important aspect. Most videos consider chatGPT as input output machine. And that is very limiting. The best is to use like Socrates method. You get into a discussion with it. For example I do a code the code works. However I put the code and asking him to get in mode "'criticize me". Then he makes some suggestions about how to make more robust code. Then I ask him a question. Then he gives another idea. Then I google search this. At the end my knowledge is vastly enhanced.

[@gr8tbigtreehugger]

[@simonenigma8063]

I just asked ChatGPT what todays date was. It's Feb 14th but the AI said Feb 15th. I understand that the server might be in another time zone than my location putting it a day ahead, but you would think that it could take my information and location to tell me the exact date

I asked ChatGPT if ChatGPT would make programmers obsolete and it said this: No, chatbots like ChatGPT are not likely to make programmers obsolete. While chatbots can automate certain tasks and make some jobs easier, they cannot replace the creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills that humans bring to programming. Additionally, chatbots like ChatGPT require significant programming and development to function, so they are not a replacement for human programmers but rather a tool they can use.

👉Me: "Will ChatGPT make web developers obsolete?" 👉ChatGPT: "No, ChatGPT will not make web developers obsolete. While AI and machine learning models like ChatGPT have advanced significantly and have the ability to generate and complete text, they still lack the creativity, problem-solving skills, and human touch that web developers bring to their work. Web development involves a wide range of tasks that require a deep understanding of programming, design, and user experience, as well as the ability to work with a variety of technologies and tools. Moreover, ChatGPT and other AI models still require human input and oversight to ensure that the output they generate is accurate, relevant, and meets the needs of the users. Web developers will continue to play a critical role in creating and maintaining websites, applications, and digital products, as well as designing and implementing new technologies that enhance the user experience. In conclusion, ChatGPT and other AI models will not replace web developers, but rather complement and enhance their work, making it easier and more efficient for them to build and maintain high-quality digital products."
