I honestly don’t know if ChatGPT is the ultimate tool for me, or if it’s just feeding my madness.<\/p>\n
Sitting here with 3 chats open: one is crunching up examples of voice-leading algorithms to add to my Python scripts for chord progression generation in FL Studio; a second is trying to debug my clojure build environment that’s failing to build the cljs part of Cardigan Bay; and the third is writing me a new static site generator using jinja2 templates (that I’ve never used before).<\/p>\n
I can’t focus on one of these projects so now trying to do them in parallel by jumping from one chatGPT window to another.<\/p>\n
Thing is, it’s helping me manage context switches because each chat retains the context. I also have multiple text editors open etc.<\/p>\n
I don’t suppose I’m as efficient, as I would be if I did focus on one at a time. But I’m making enough progress forward in each of these projects to keep me engaged.<\/p>\n
I’m thinking in terms of small blocks of code: eg. “write me the function which does X”. But not having to maintain the fine-grained concentration of writing the code itself. GPT knows how to make data structures and loop through them etc. well enough by itself.<\/p>\n
So I get to zoom out, and think about algorithms \/ architecture etc. On the fly. And in several projects at once.<\/p>\n
It’s intoxicatingly exciting. But is also kinda shockingly crazy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
