Use ChatGPT to facilitate understanding of code and improve code structure. Large Language Models like ChatGPT are already being used productively in software development today. Developers, project managers, and architects cannot ignore these new possibilities. Patrick Schnell provides a practical introduction to working with these language models. Pragmatically and without alarmism, he describes how teams can use these tools to improve the quality of their codebase, optimize information flow within the project team, and manage projects more effectively. Well-defined requirements and documentation play a crucial role in team collaboration. Patrick Schnell demonstrates how ChatGPT and similar tools can alleviate these often-unpopular tasks. The author also shows how you can use ChatGPT to check code quality and facilitate understanding of the codebase—especially for new team members. The prompting techniques described at the beginning of the book can also be applied to other tasks.
