    I work as a systems engineer and use it daily. I feel there is a particular way of using it where it really shines. Priming it with “you are an experienced senior python/rust/etc. developer who writes robust, idiomatic and maintainable code”. Using GPT-4 (not 3.5) is paramount, and the Data Analysis mode on ChatGPT is also really useful, because GPT can actually run code to validate things.

    Noone should force it of course, but I feel once you get intuition about what and how it does things well (and when it falls on its face) then it really flies.
