I don’t consider myself a real coder but I have found it useful for a few things.

- Generating regular expressions and string manipulation. It helps to give it an example or two of input and expected output.

- Generate some simple utility functions. Be specific about what you want the function to do and don’t have it generate something you don’t understand. If you do, you can ask it to explain the code, but it may be doing something in a naive way and/or not handling edge cases.

- I occasionally use it to explain or reformat chunks of code.

- It seems to be hit or miss on explaining Typescript errors.
