On a more serious note, ChatGPT, ironically, does suck at webdev frontend. The one task that pretty much everyone agrees could be done by a monkey (given enough time) is the one it doesn't understand at all.

I don't think it's very useful at generating good code or answering anything about most libraries, but I've found it to be helpful answering specific JS/TS questions.

The MDN version is also pretty great too. I've never done a Firefox extension before and MDN Plus was surprisingly helpful at explaining the limitations on mobile. Only downside is it's limited to 5 free prompts/day.

Chat gpt is also great if you have problems with Linux. It is my nr 1 trouble shooting tool.
