It's solved what I call my "45-year coding problem":
With GPT-4 I solved a problem in a completely new way that I had been iterating on for over a year, in a total of about 90 minutes.
I've tried to start coding (which I love) dozens of times over 45 years. By the time I was in my mid-twenties, I found it was always to use as a tool; I had a problem to solve, could it help?
Pre-Stack Overflow and internet, it wasn't efficient, because I kept running into time-consuming headwinds and had get the problem solved. End coding project.
Once Google Search got good, I was able to move a little farther forward, but still found it too time-consuming for any one problem. And in my attempts at coding, the farther I got, the more time-consuming the headwinds were. It's almost as if you need to spend many hours/week over several months learning so you can tackle more actual problems than sample problems. But I didn't know what I should be studying.
