    You don’t, you get it to write both the code and the tests. And you read both of them yourself. And you run them in a debugger to verify they do what you expect.

    Yeah, that’s half the work of “normal coding” but it’s also half the work. Which is a pretty awesome boost to productivity.

    But where it really boosts your productivity is with APIs that you aren’t very familiar with. ChatGPT is a hell of a lot better than Google for simple “what API can I use for X” questions.

      You might have to rewrite all of it. The code and the tests.

      Hell even the structure/outline it took might not be correct.
