I'm a software engineer and game developer and I'm pretty much using ChatGPT as a replacement for stack overflow. It is a great tool to use whenever I'm stuck on something or have a quick question about syntax I can't remember.

It's definitely way faster and more accurate than searching my question on Google. Occasionally it will give me the wrong answer, but I'd say for the types of questions I ask, it has around a 90% accuracy rate.

And what's really cool is if I'm working on a hard problem, I can update ChatGPT with the status of my attempts to debug it and new problems I've run into and it will remember everything I've said previously and take that into account when answering my new but related questions. Super cool.

Feels more like a brainstorming partner than just a question-answerer.

This has been my experience as well. It's like having my own personal senior dev with occasional schizophrenic episodes.

Sometimes if I keep going back and forth with it over code that isn't working it will start to have an attitude, saying things like "Like I said", and then when that starts happening, the next time I say anything I get an error from OpenAI and have to reset the thread lmao.
