ChatGPT can help you that process if you ask it to.

I often paste chunks of code into it just to get a detailed line-by-line explanation of exactly what that code is doing. It's really helpful, especially for convoluted code that you're trying to get a good feel for.

That’s true, but you still have to follow and think through all the steps of what the code is doing. With regard to new code, I don’t see the sometimes cited 5-10 times increase in productivity if you’re actually diligent about code correctness.
