Real-Real-World Programming with ChatGPT

O'Reilly

The inspiration (and title) for it comes from Mike Loukides’ Radar article on Real World Programming with ChatGPT , which shares a similar spirit of digging into the potential and limits of AI tools for more realistic end-to-end programming tasks.
