minus-squareDremor@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·1 month agoI also use it a lot for unit tests. It helps a lot when you have to write multiple edge cases, and even find new one at times. Like putting a random int in an enum field (enumField = (myEnum)1000), I didn’t knew you could do that…
minus-squareLandless2029@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·1 month agoYeah. I’ve found new logic by asking GPT for improvements on my code or suggestions. I cut the size of a function in half once using a suggested recursive loop and it blew my mind. Feels like having a peer to do a code review on hand at all times.
