What a long day!

Today was a long day at work.
I am currently participating in a change management certification (Prosci ADKAR Change Management Practitioner).
For the next 2 days I will be attending this from 08:00 to 17:00. With short breaks.
It’s intense (but not hard at all).
I was struggling to keep my attention all day, so I hope it’s better tomorrow.
I have not broken my code streak. I told myself I would find something “easy” to code and with the help of ChatGPT I did.
I added “company” logos to the listings for DfE. It looks very ugly still, but I am moving forward. I used Clearbit’s free logo API, which just requires that I use the img tag in my html.
I was already storing each listing’s website, but now needed to remove the www in front of each to use the API. I asked ChatGPT and it suggested a nice way of doing it in Django, which worked flawlessly.
Thanks ChatGPT! :D

Small world indeed. And funny that had I not decided to write about it last night we wouldn’t have found out.
Regarding the use of Chatgpt, no judgement from me. I’m using it way more than you know, way more than 50%. In the end I don’t think it matters to anyone as long as what we build works and solves a problem.
For me Chatgpt is a sort of accelerator. It’s the Google + stackoverflow + forums + blog posts + tutorials + discord channels + coding communities + code tutors +

That’s a great way of putting it. Just a more efficient way of googling stackoverflow haha

Oh wow no way. You do change management at work too? Small world I kinda do that as well for my corp consulting.
Oh nice, never knew about the logo API - looks real nifty!
And I sometimes feel kinda guilty using ChatGPT. I use it a lot too to code now and it’s like 50% of the work, sometimes more!
