It has been almost a year since ChatGPT was out. Any really practical and uses for it in your daily life or professional career?

Would love to know how are you using it!

I use it all the time when coding.

- Hints for Leetcode problems without giving me answer

- Ask it questions for syntax, or how to do something broader (e.g. how to setup hot reloading for Elm)

- Ask whether some package exists (e.g. list options for PDF processing in C#)

- and more!

I am not using a VSCode plugin; they feel cramped, I am not using it to refactor existing code, and they tend to not be able to comprehend the whole codebase as context anyways (maybe I am wrong and they can?)
