It has barely been a day since ChatGPT launched, and I woke up to a timeline of different use cases that made it clear what the rest of this decade is going to look like:

Until auto-tagging #ChatGPT is an option, or someone writes a script that scrapes Twitter’s firehose for GPT screenshots, here are just a few use cases I found today that blew my mind.

Write react & tailwind

Gabe 🎣 @gabe_ragland

ChatGPT by @OpenAI does really well with coding questions. Here I ask how to build a 3-column footer with Tailwind. I then follow-up and ask for a React version, more realistic copy, and mobile responsiveness. It nails it perfectly.

Convert text to regex

nader (🧱, 🚀) | nader.lens @dabit3

I guess "text to regex" is a thing now? This will save me so much time.

A Twitter thread debating crypto being dead

Daniel Olshansky | olshansky.eth 🐙 @olshansky

GPT: "Write a Twitter thread discussing how crypto is dead, start a fire, include frequent memes, insert a tweet from Elon." I couldn't resist

Mermaid Diagrams

At work, we were writing some mermaid diagrams for our documentation. Even though this didn’t quite solve the problem, it got us 80% of the way. The engineer only needs to take it over the finish line.

Provide the source code for a top-down mermaid diagram of a complete binary tree with 8 leafs where each leaf is stylize using alternating colors.

Functional & Unit Tests

GitHub Copilot has become a close friend in the recent past, but what I’m most excited about is using ChatGPT to implement unit tests and design end-to-end functional tests.
