Quick, trivial example of something I use GPT-4 for a lot these days - paste in some code that was getting an error, say "spot the bug", often it spots it

@simon totally.It's awesome at framing out large swaths of concept too! I use it to build an "idea" for the query or analytics or whatever and then spend an hour refining it. Waaay faster.

@simon I've been using the Genie VS Code plugin (ChatGPT) to great effect. Highlight code, right-click and ask about bugs, optimisation, explanation.

@simon I bet this is 80% of my use case. Another 10% is lunchtime or night-time roulette of problem-solving that I would not otherwise. Rephrasing this for an email or newsletter is another 5 to 10%.

@simon Don't most text editors have syntax highlighting for things like matching quotes and parentheses?

@williamgunn VS Code didn't help me here, maybe there's a Jinja/Django syntax highlighting extension I need to install
