My Pi projects are predominately <strong>internet of things</strong> applications using many sensor and components from <strong>Adafruit</strong>. The AWS Lightsail applications are all Django projects. I've also developed a couple of Django web servers on Pis. </p> <p>When I've encountered problems - syntax or logic - I've relied heavily on the Dev and open source community. I can't count the number of times I've searched StackOverflow or GitHub for a solution to my current problem. <strong>Thank you!</strong></p> <p>The downside is that my typical searching effort has been pretty time consuming and somewhat hit or miss. </p> <p>Now, my first stop is <strong>ChatGPT</strong> to get help and the experience has been amazing. ChatGPT provides great examples and I can tailor the responses to make it almost a cut-n-paste solution! I now have a pair programming partner that is a language lawyer, tester and strong developer! </p> <p><em>I highly recommend adding ChatGPT to your development toolkit</em>. </p> programming python productivity chatgpt
