      Makes sense. It’s like having your personal undergrad hobby coder. It may get something right here and there but for professional coding it’s still worse than the gold standard (googling Stackoverflow).

        Nah, you just need to be really specific in the requirements you give it. And if the scope of work you’re asking for is too large you need to do the high level design and decompose it into multiple parts for chatgpt to implement.

          If you were 100% specific you would be effectively writing the code yourself. But you don’t want that, so you’re not 100% specific, so it makes up the difference. The result will include an unspecified percentage of code that does not fit what you wanted.

          It’s like code Yahtzee, you keep re-rolling this dice and that dice but never quite manage to get the exact combination you need.

          There’s an old saying about computers, they don’t do what you want them to do, they do what you tell them to do. They can’t do what you don’t tell them to do.

        I know zero coding and trying to query something in snowflake or big query is basically not accessible to me. This is basically a cheat code for me.
