Small intro, I never coded before and it looked super hard to me and 2 months ago I decided why not now.🤷♀️
My friends suggested me to start with...

"Some of the request I made to ChatGPT were super basic, and now look really clear to me, at those point I asked everything, all stupid questions."
If you only knew what my (and probably many others who call ourselves"IT professionals ") Google queries used to be when I code, and now I'm doing the same thing with ChatGPT lmao
Yes, and sometimes I'll ask Bard a question and then google to see if Bard is telling the truth. I still have "trust issues" with AI when it comes to professional work :).
Yes, the public chat versions are not to be trusted completely, especially for things where some guesswork may present itself. I think it's because they set the "temperature" parameter to a figure above 0. It's what gives it that generative AI imagination (or we call them hallucinations if it's supposed to generate non-fiction).
If you send a request to the API endpoint with the temperature set to 0, the model will not try to be so creative. It's pretty decent with code generation as long as the tasks are broken down to smaller steps and you ask it to solve each step individually.
That is smart. I did not have any issues though, as I have no idea fully what I am doing:) So ChatGPT was all I had:)
That's part of the problem with ChatGPT. If you ask it a question which you know the answer to: "Who was the 16th President of the United States?" and it gives you the wrong answer: "Andrew Jackson" well that's easy to tell that ChatGPT got it wrong. But what about a question you don't know the answer to? Then how do you tell if ChatGPT is correct or not?
Have you seen this news story? A Man Avianca Airline. His Lawyer Used ChatGPT This was a legal professional who should have known better but he trusted ChatGPT when he shouldn't have. ChatGPT can simply make up stuff that simply isn't true. And if you can't tell that it's not true then you can be responsible for peddling falsehoods.
I know the pride of accomplishment of building something and having people use it and I'm sure not trying to rain on your parade. But you need to be aware that ChatGPT has some very real limitations about telling reality from fiction and if you can't sort out what's true and what isn't ChatGPT can't do that for you.
Thanks for sharing Iskander! Sometimes I feel I am the only one who ask so many basic things there. or like trying to figure out very general stuff.
Hah, python newbie over here. If you only saw my ChatGPT history, you're not alone 😆
hahahahah love it
Hello! Like many here, I asked my questions to GPT, about codes and others, I was trying to create a facial recognition app, for here at the entrance to my house! At first I found it interesting, many things worked and others didn't, I was trying to solve this and that, and then the question came to me, does gpt understand the functionality of the code now, since its learning was in 2021 for a short period of time and we are in 2023! How did you manage to solve this, when building your code?
My congratulations for the creativity!
Hi! Actually a good point.
I face couple of problems like that.
When I install smth of new version but code was for older version as written with ChatGPT.
I than solve it installing previous version.
Which is not great.
But alternatively need to check the installation online.
Also I wanna start now with GitHub copilot , maybe it gives more fresh recommendations. Do u know?
Hey! You're right, installing a previous version is a "good way out and option to consider!" if it does not conflict with other, more current applications.
I've been looking today for tutorials that help me solve things like that in a more practical way, and from what I've noticed, many opt for virtual machines to solve this! in own dev.to found something, about it! Take a look, maybe this will help you too!
dev.to/victorosilva/setup-ubuntu-f...
Regarding github co-pilot, I have nothing to tell you, I'm walking that road too! If you get something great, I appreciate it if you can share it with me!
Beneficial to your learning process, I'll invite you to deepen your reading of customising Tailwind. Interesting and essential topic I think.
👉 tailwindcss.com/docs/customizing-c...
Pretty funny way to get into that field. Inspiring!
Nice!
Is this one will let me have more custom colors?
I used everywhere bg-blue-600 ( I mean couple of numbers of this one blue) and black and white.
Also in other project i used slate.
Correct. By customising Tailwind at the build level, you open your project to infinite possibilities
🚀
I need to advise with my coding assistant about "build level meaning and details:))) But cool I will try to use these custom colors for new project.
Thanks Thomas.
Oh I get it about color now.
Actually the results it gives did. not work.
I did not manage to set at the end custom colors. Now looked at the screenshot in the article and understand that don’t remember it even:)
The progress in 2 months is absolutely insane. 🚀
This one was build in 1 week. 🤩
But of course the last 2 months I am kind of figuring out still how to code and build similar projects :)
Best of luck!
Thanks so much! I will share it goes:)
Did you read or watching something specific like some good resources you would like to share?
Actually main resource was ChatGPT 4 which I asked all questions while figuring out the code.
I did not actually watch tutorials. It gives me all, installation, suggestions on how to push and resolve issues.
Agreed!
Thanks for sharing and I really appreciate how you explained your thought process when learning from ChatGPT. Recently I asked it to help me with frontend testing with Python and Selenium (both I'm unfamiliar with) and within 30 minutes I had program running. There is something very empowering about starting from 0 knowledge to having enough to actually build something.
Annette agree 100%
What I think is important it can help to really learn faster as you use real project here as a learning.
Not online course. And just in place trying to figure out the things
Yes you know 0 first but if you persistent can learn the things much faster.
Very interesting article, thanks for sharing. Btw, where did you get all the memes/Gifs from ?
Thanks for support.
Giphy of course, but I am customizing them there:)
The only stupid questions are the ones not asked. If it helped you figure something out (albeit basic) then I think it's good to ask questions. Congrats on your project! Super exciting stuff! Fascinating read 🤘
Also, makes me want to be more involved in open source projects! Must be very satisfying 😊
Very satisfying! 100%
Thank you for feedback Jeremy! Definitely lets build more in Open Source space.
Congratulations on successfully building your first Open Source project with ChatGPT and Next.js! It's impressive to see how you attracted 10k users in just 24 hours. Your blog post provides valuable insights into your journey and the challenges you faced. Keep up the great work, and I look forward to seeing your future projects!
Thanks:)
There is no clear idea how it attracted so many users.
I launched after other projects and they did not. So vitality is a mystery.
Thank you, @shnai0! You are truly an inspiration to me. You provide clear guidance on how to start and what to do. Please keep posting—I'll be sure to follow you. :)
Thanks for support!
I will continue posting:)
Congrats! Thanks for sharing
Thanks Krisztian!
Making my first steps:)
Nice job!
I'm wondering how much are you spending in OpenAI APIs and how do you think to monetize it to have at least a return :)
Around 1$ per day - it is 1000 generations.
I actually have no idea, I feel like to make payment getaway does not worth it, so not enough value with product in it state.
It can be a good side project to attract more traffic to main business related to social, which I dont have. So no idea yet:))
Any thoughts?
What an amazing progress! well done!
Thanks Ofer!
I very much like the outcome of it. Thanks for sharing your micro-project with us. ❤️
Thanks for support Benny!
Great ! Thanks for sharing
🤩
This is great, and congrats!
But am I the only developer here feeling upset about this?
I mean, you spend years working on your skills, you make open source projects on your spare time and try to craft good articles on your own to get maybe 23 stars on github and 5 reactions on dev.to. And then you see posts like this (awesome, don't get me wrong), 2k+ stars and everyone excited.
I don't like using GPT, as I have no satisfaction whatsoever on the results when most of the work is not mine. But I guess it is my problem, and I need to start looking for new hobbies, because obviously I can't compete with that anymore. It saddens me, but I really want to give up.
I hope that what is such a bad thing for me will at least be a good thing for the society at large.
Anyhow, congrats again, and sorry for my rumblings.
Yeah I was skeptical with GPT when it first came out last year. I've been coding for donkeys years too. But the first time I asked it for ideas to accomplish some task that would probably require some programming, it gave me a solution that I would never have considered because I was completely ignorant that such a thing exists. The initial code it generated was crap, but there was enough there to give me a good idea of how it works, so I just had to break it down to smaller parts and fiddle around with the prompts I fed it, and I was able to complete a custom tool to run the task in a couple of hours. It would have taken me two days of Googling with dozens of open tabs to stack overflow to just figure my first step.
Hi, don't be upset :) software development is about human interaction, understanding and describing business requirements and constraints, and creating complex solutions. And any AI can't do this by itself, yet :)
And you started coding 2 months ago??
I was in tech for quite some time.
Founded the tech startup before so I saw the code, but never coded and seeing code caused the anxiety in me.
this was myfirst real shot with setting all up and figuring out stuff with ChatGPT
🥰😱 super dope
Wuhuuu
Really cool, I was amazed by the generation 👌
I changed prompts like 500 times! To improve the results. So it is great
Wow
Thanks Ben!
Congrats on the success. Thanks for sharing the instructions. Super cool that you made it open-source 🤩
Yes, now I really interested to commit to more open source projects:)
As it helped me a lot.
This is awesome, great work!!
Thanks Jesal! 💪
Great work :)
Thanks Johnny!
That's awesome that you were able to create a project to be used by many users!
Yes, it was super unexpected and exciting:) There are still daily users
Do you give me permission to copy this in spanish?
Such an inspiring post : being able to start from scratch and build this real world project is great !!!
Simple but efective.
It's insane, thanks for sharing! have you considered using rix chat intead of chatgpt?
Just a noob question, where did you host your API. Are you using any cloud funtions?
Awesome 👍
Great Job!
I looked up that ranking algorithm, doesn't look like it is what Twitter open-sourced.
Just a weird custom algorithm, not sure how consistent it is with Twitter's actual algorithm
The code is really really bad but it's ok for a side project. It is really obvious to tell that it's all GPT though. Hope I never see this kinda bs in real production-grade applications. Really scary.
Part of code is from the Open Source projects I mention in the article, though:)
