ChatGPT has been one of my go-to tools lately. It’s super helpful for quick code explanations, debugging help, and even generating snippets. I like how it adapts to my style over time and gives pretty accurate answers, especially for tricky logic. One downside of ChatGPT is that it sometimes gives confident but incorrect answers, especially with newer tech or edge cases. It also lacks real-time awareness of project context unless I paste a lot of code, which can be tedious. And occasionally, it over-explains simple things.
