Thanks, it makes me feel relieved to hear I’m not the only one finding it a little overwhelming! Previously, I had been using chatgpt and the like where I would be hunting for the answer to a particularly esoteric programming question. I’ve had a fair amount of success with that, though occasionally I would catch it in the act of contradicting itself, so I’ve learned you have to follow up on it a bit.
Oh yeah, of course. You can’t just trust it 100%. One time Claude gave me a piece of code that was a nasty bug that could have caused some serious issues. It was a one liner that deleted an employee from database by mere searching said employee with their name. Thankfully I caught it in the dev environment before it got into prod (assuming AQ missed it, too) and started deleting people. lol.
