    I 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…

      Yeah. I’ve found new logic by asking GPT for improvements on my code or suggestions.

      Feels like having a peer to do a code review on hand at all times.
