ChatGPT and similar AI tools can significantly aid developers by analyzing code, suggesting improvements, writing tests, and more. Their effectiveness depends on clear, specific prompts. While they are not designed to solve new or niche problems independently, they excel in tasks like code contextualization, reviews, and documentation. Tools like GitHub Copilot leverage additional context to provide more relevant suggestions, bridging the gap between junior and senior developer roles.

LLMs Are Not Designed for Problem Solving or Riddles

I hope this article can help all programmers improve their use of AI and provide some additional ideas on the proper ways to utilize them.

Some examples in this article seem a bit far fetching.
How would a junior developer know whether the output meets the criteria, or whether it was an llm hallucination?
For example: At one point in the article you mention how LLMs can be a great tool for junior developers - as writing tests can be complex.
If writing tests is complex - wouldn’t it best for a junior developer to understand the problem entirely - before relying on an LLM to provide it with solutions which they may not yet have capacity to understand?
I think while LLMs can be useful tools when it comes to achieving results, they may have a negative or stunting impacts on younger developers - as they could be used to skip important lessons…

Nice guide! AI tools are here to stay, and this article provides valuable tips on what they’re good at and where they still have room to improve (for now). Thanks for sharing!

Always great insights by this author

I thank ChatGPT (or AI tools for I am using Claude atm) for helping with understanding algorithmics ! It’s an effective way to improve rapidly
