I worked with a colleague who didn't write JS for a long while. My colleague purposefully tried to build the project with the output of ChatGPT. One of the problems my colleague ran into is that once things don't work as expected, debugging is really hard. When you build a system yourself you have a knowledge foundation, and a process that you repeat over and over. They are intrinsic to your development process. They…

I found this to be the case as well. My out productivity declined as the project became more unwieldy. I wasn't using ES6 so would very much like to modularize things and use imports/exports next time. "Working code is working code" but I'd dread the idea of someone collaborating on top of my spaghetti. Lot of lessons learned in that respect. Having to reset ChatGPT's understanding of the latest code was tiresome.

I've always considered Stack Overflow research to be very valuable. Less for the answer to my question and more for the related topics, edge cases, and other details that frequently are included in thorough answers / comments / discussions. When AI answers your question (and only your question), that's great for that specific instance, but it feels to me like it's lacking in breadth. I wonder if that results in the u…

That's a fair take. I can't overstate Stack Overflow has been in the past, I think I often had that experience that it usually caters to common but specific scenarios, or I'm just impatient and lurk instead of asking a question and waiting for a response. Interesting I could paste Stack overflow discussions into ChatGPT to ask if this insight is related to my issue and it was usually open to relating the new info and helping me

Today's song is in 2 movies, and I technically got it correct the first time, but the app counted it wrong. Edit: it's actually in several movies. At least 4. All quite iconic imo.

Same - here's the scene from the first movie I guessed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Alyx4QeRRdg which was marked as incorrect

This is the movie I picked first as well!

I know that "Beverly Hills Ninja" with Chris Farley features "Low Rider" by War, but it wasn't a correct answer :(

The list of films that use that song are (at least according to IMDB):

https://www.imdb.com/list/ls072864571/

I guessed "dazed and confused" and was told that was incorrect. From the hint it would appear as though they were looking for "gone in 60 seconds"

I did not know IMDB offered this, thank you!

Yeah i guessed Up in Smoke which did use the tune so seems like it needs to accept any correct answer or provide something that narrows it to a specific movie. But I like the idea.
