When I first used GPT I did a lot of extra projects outside work. I had it walk me through making a shitty multi-client drawing app, start a terraria clone in godot, a forum tool for my wife, and a bunch of random personal tools.
And then it got me started on my biggest personal project which is using the GPT api. It is a next.js app that is pretty much a multiplayer AI Dungeon at the moment but I have bigger ambitions. Probably too big.
I am a frontend (react + typescript) developer and I have always wanted to do more outside of work but never got around to it. GPT just makes it so quick and easy to have a jumping off point for a project. It has introduced me to a lot of things I don’t see in my day to day.
Initially, I felt the “oh shit, this is gonna take my job” fear, but without actual dev experience and the ability to debug, all those projects would have come to a screeching halt very early on. It is a great sidekick to help me brainstorm or get through my thoughts, though.
Noooooo that is so disappointing to hear.
