A long-form catalogue of how ChatGPT can slot into a developer's day-to-day — written in mid-2023 when the tooling was still finding its shape, but most of the patterns hold up: prompt-crafting, brainstorming database designs, prep for certification exams, code review, debugging, drafting bash one-liners, scaffolding documentation, mock interviews, and tuning the temperature parameter for different kinds of work.
The full post runs through ~20 distinct use cases with worked examples, so it's more reference than read-it-all-at-once. Worth skimming the headings and dipping into the ones that match what you're stuck on.

I think this post really nails it—ChatGPT is a game-changer, but crafting the right prompts is key. The way you broke down crafting clear, iterative prompts and using step-by-step requests was super helpful. I also love how you showed how ChatGPT can assist with database design and learning new technologies.
ChatGPT is evolving rapidly, and the key to leveraging it well is asking the right questions and validating its output. For a deeper perspective, I recommend checking out this article by Facundo Corradini: ChatGPT Developer Prompts. It provides another great point of view on how to use AI effectively in development.
