My personal experience has been that I most certainly do ship code faster when I use ChatGPT. It is so good at building out boilerplate, explaining and scaffolding new libraries/APIs I'm not familiar with, or telling me what I'm doing wrong.
I use GPT4 on the CLI via ShellGPT. Piping in `tail /var/log/nginx/error.log` and asking "What is going wrong here?" is amazing. I'll never use `man` to figure out how to use a CLI tool again either.
It is painful to watch people slowly do things at work (ChatGPT isn't allowed) that ChatGPT would do so much faster. We had to write up an incident report the other day. If we had just outlined everything that had happened in some rough bullet points, it would have written 95% of the final document. If we had gotten that done quicker, we'd have been back to shipping code to production quicker.
