My primary role in IT is not as a programmer; however, I do program in python, PowerShell, and batch files in order to automate some of my administrative duties in both an effort to save time and to ensure accuracy of my work. I am self taught, and a lousy programmer. I do know what questions to ask and what is possible, therefore a tool like ChatGPT or Phind is truly helpful in my hands.
I am writing this comment after directly comparing Phind and ChatGPT. I did an experiment and Phind far exceeded my expectations. I provided an obscure prompt to Phind, not expecting it to intuitively provide the exact answer I was looking for. The prompt was simply 'Look at this batch file' and then I provided a copy of the file. I was looking to rewrite the code to use a for loop and a text file for the destination paths. Phind did not require a further prompt to assume this and provide me the code and explanation needed to understand the code. The latter is very useful for a crappy programmer like myself because it easily expands my knowledge.
The same prompt to ChatGPT, responded exactly as I anticipated. It was simply re-iterating line by line what I submitted.
Thank you for providing this tool.
TLDR; Phind is pretty awesome. Useful to get work accomplished and useful for learning.
