I agree with your experience, and am curious as to what the difference between the two scenarios is.


I always wanted to do this very specific in Django. I don't work with Python,so even though I knew what I want to do,but my skills weren't there to create working code. So I thought I'll throw the problem at chatGPT. The generated code had a couple of flaws, but I managed to fix them in 15 min or so and got a working result. The code also gave me some interesting perspective on how some things could be implemented.


That’s interesting since I threw some questions at it about Django and I didn’t think it gave very idiomatic patterns for it.


What it generated in Django was very simple and likely far from the quality an experienced engineer would come up with, but at my knowledge level that was enough.


If you iterate and ask it to provide more idiomatic patterns, it will!
