I’ve tried using ChatGPT for some basic coding syntax/logic, and I’ve had mixed results. Usually not so great.

Wondering if it had access to the whole code base and could better understand the context of the code if it would be better.

What’s your experience been like?

It does a great job when it has full access to the code base. I often just write comments for what I want to do and it will guess what I want 90% of the time. It’s also super helpful for writing code that follows some specific format, e.g if i want some test json data with specific fields it will make some and fill them in properly.
