I don't know how others are using chatGPT for coding, but I found I get the best results when starting small and iterate over the results few times. Like:

  1. write a function to make a GET request;
  2. write a function to handle this example JSON;
  3. write a function that combines the first two;
  4. etc etc

I use it mostly for Typescript, Bash and Clojure and results vary from good to OK (Clojure). The whole process is way faster if you use a tool like sGPT.
