As developers, we often juggle various tasks—some demanding our expertise and others being repetitive and time-consuming. This can easily lead to getting bogged down in routine work, encountering errors, and spending excessive time on basic tasks.

The solution? ChatGPT. This post explores how ChatGPT can be used effectively to streamline your workflow.

By letting ChatGPT handle common tasks, you can focus on more critical aspects of your projects. For instance, if you need to write automation code for reading files from your local system, you can ask ChatGPT to generate the code, optimize it, or make specific adjustments.

If you're working with multiple versions of your code in VS Code and experimenting with different approaches, ChatGPT can help you evaluate which approach is more effective. Think of ChatGPT as your 24/7 senior developer, ready to guide you through any problem and provide error-free solutions without hesitation.

Helps While Learning New Tech

Imagine you’re learning Ruby on Rails (RoR) and following a tutorial to build a small website. After getting stuck midway, you can use ChatGPT to assist you step-by-step. For example, if you’re developing an e-commerce site and have successfully created CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations for categories and products, but struggle with linking products to categories, ChatGPT can help:

Generate the CRUD operations for categories to ensure your setup is correct.
Provide CRUD code for products to verify best practices.
Show you how to create foreign key relationships between products and categories.
By comparing your code with ChatGPT’s suggestions, you can identify and fix mistakes, progressing on your RoR project even without additional external help.

Help to Showcase Your Hard Work

Sometimes, despite your hard work, it may not be evident to your manager. ChatGPT can help you present your efforts more effectively. Before posting updates on Jira, ask ChatGPT to refine and enhance your comments, making them more descriptive and comprehensive. If needed, you can request adjustments until the format meets your needs.

Using ChatGPT ensures your hard work is well-documented and visible, showcasing the full extent of your contributions effectively.
