I’ve been using it to generate bash scripts because I don’t know bash scripting, and also have it generate regexes for me to search for code references in a programming language where the “find all references” functionality don’ doesn’t work quite well.


I’m the same way, I “know” bash but I’m not fluent in it, always have to look up how to do very basic things like looping. But for the simple things I need bash for ChatGPT does great as a time saver.


I didn't know bash scripting and then I wrote some scripts and then I knew bash scripting and use it for lots of stuff. Has ChatGPT resulted in learning by doing for you?


Off topic: the similarity of yours and the parent's usernames was a funny little coincidence.


I guess I use ChatGPT similarly for Ruby and for Rust, but with the only difference being that in my mind I intend to “learn” those two.
