I finally stopped using ChatGPT for code generation at work
Been building a small inventory tracker for my shop and kept asking ChatGPT for Python scripts. Every single one had a bug that took me hours to find. Yesterday it gave me a SQL query that joined tables wrong and nearly wiped my test database. Anyone else finding these tools just don't get the specifics of your actual data?

Man, "duplicated every order three times" - I feel that pain in my soul. It's like these tools see the shape of the problem but miss all the little details that actually matter in real code.

Agree so hard with this. I asked it for a simple json parser for my ecommerce data and it somehow made a loop that duplicated every order three times. Took me a full afternoon to find that stupid bug because I trusted it too much.
