I’ve been using chatGPT over last year and it took me a little while to learn how to prompt. I have some basic JavaScript knowledge and that has been helpful.

I started off with real fancy, big prompts but would get code that didn’t work together. I have been having more success just doing one thing at s time with the prompt ie: 1) I want to make a Python program for lists - the first window will have an add list and delete list button. Then that gets done. I test it in visual studio code by running the Python program and if it’s good I move to next step. 2) add a function that when user double clicks a list it opens a new window where they can add items to the list. Repeat the test. Then 3) I want to make the lists available in local storage. Etc.

It takes me awhile to build out everything but results in much more consistent, workable code.

I still have so much to learn and am only barely scratching the surface but I can’t believe how far I have come in a year with my success in prompting the tool.
