It has barely been a day since ChatGPT launched, and I woke up to a timeline of different use cases that made it clear what the rest of this decade is going to look like:
Until auto-tagging #ChatGPT is an option, or someone writes a script that scrapes Twitter’s firehose for GPT screenshots, here are just a few use cases I found today that blew my mind.
At work, we were writing some mermaid diagrams for our documentation. Even though this didn’t quite solve the problem, it got us 80% of the way. The engineer only needs to take it over the finish line.
Provide the source code for a top-down mermaid diagram of a complete binary tree with 8 leafs where each leaf is stylize using alternating colors.

GitHub Copilot has become a close friend in the recent past, but what I’m most excited about is using ChatGPT to implement unit tests and design end-to-end functional tests.
