The most recent logic I tried getting it to code for me was to make me some recursive C# functions to reverse navigate a node map (a Microsoft Project plan with various feeding chains) to calculate all possible paths, and return them as a list of objects.

It kept producing code that looked to eye that it might work, but each time I ran it it would just throw schoolboy exceptions. I got tired of telling it to correct the things it kept forgetting to check for (nulls, path starts, empty lists), and just coded it from scratch myself.

I find ChatGpt is like pair-programming with a junior, except I'm not getting paid to coach them like I would if it were an actual graduate hire.

I think I'm doing just fine, thanks for your concern.

keeping context is a thing that they are bad at. For now, i admit, but they are.

Given a long haul goal with instructions and everything they will reinvent the wheel four times and one of those you will get a square. Reminds me of that monkey paw wish thing. You look at your finished app. Looks beautiful, but its inner workings are a ball of confusion.
