Use ChatGPT for improve your coding quality

Hi, This is Shubham Mishra from India,   In this post we will discuss about how to Use ChatGPT for improve your coding quality and I am sure you will get excited to make your hands dirty with those code, so why to wait let's get started...

When first time i asked ChatGpt to write some script for me, I asked "Write a shell script to open multiple chrome windows with some url's", it was to my surprise that ChatGPT not only wrote the script it also tried to explain every line of code, you can check the script here : Shell script to open multiple chrome windows, so then onwards not only for writing script but also for reviewing some of my work related code I ask ChatGPT to review and rewrite me optimised code too.

How can Chat GPT provide some general tips and best practices that developers can follow to write good code:

1. Follow coding standards and best practices: Consistency is key when it comes to writing good code. Follow established coding standards and best practices, such as naming conventions, code formatting, commenting, and documentation.

2. Write code that is easy to read and maintain: Your code should be easy to read, understand, and maintain by other developers. Use meaningful variable names and comments to explain complex code blocks.

3. Write modular and reusable code: Break down complex code into smaller, modular components that can be easily reused in different parts of your application.

4. Test your code thoroughly: Write automated tests for your code to ensure that it behaves as expected and doesn't break when changes are made.

5. Optimize your code for performance: Write code that is efficient and optimized for performance. Avoid using nested loops or complex algorithms that could slow down your application.

6. Continuously refactor your code: Refactor your code regularly to improve its quality and maintainability. Remove duplicate code, simplify complex logic, and improve code structure.

7. Stay up-to-date with the latest technologies and tools: Stay current with the latest technologies and tools in your programming language or framework. Attend conferences, participate in online communities, and read blogs and articles to keep yourself updated.

8. Collaborate and learn from other developers: Collaborate with other developers, participate in code reviews, and learn from their experiences and perspectives to improve your own coding skills.

These all points shared by ChatGpt itself that how it can help you to improve your code quality and make you perfect programmer !

What is the best approach to ask to review some code to ChatGPT

1. "Introduce yourself and explain your request: Start by introducing yourself and explaining that you'd like to request a code review. Be clear about what you're looking for, and provide any necessary context or background information."

2. "Share the code you'd like reviewed: Share the code you'd like reviewed, along with any relevant documentation or instructions. Be sure to include all files and dependencies needed to run the code."

3. "Provide specific instructions: Provide clear instructions on what you'd like me to review. This could include specific sections of code, specific features or functions, or general feedback on the overall structure or organization of the code."

4. "Set expectations and deadlines: Be clear about your expectations and any deadlines for the review. Let me know if there are any specific areas of concern or if you're looking for feedback on a particular aspect of the code."

5. "Thank me for my time: Finally, thank me for my time and let me know how much you appreciate my assistance. Be sure to follow up with any additional information or clarifications that I may need."

So these all steps we can follow to ask ChatGPT to review our code,

ChatGPT's suggestion to me for improving my Ruby programming skill

1. Practice regularly: The more you practice writing Ruby code, the better you will get. Try to set aside some time each day or week to work on coding challenges, build small projects, or contribute to open-source projects.

2. Read Ruby code: Take the time to read through other people's Ruby code, especially code that is well-written or solves a problem you're interested in. This can help you learn new techniques and approaches to programming in Ruby.

3. Join a community: There are many online communities of Ruby developers who share their knowledge and support each other. Joining a community, such as a Ruby user group or online forum, can help you get feedback on your code and stay up-to-date on the latest developments in Ruby.

4. Learn from others: Collaborate with other developers on projects, pair program, or seek out a mentor. Learning from other experienced developers can help you improve your skills and learn new approaches to coding.

5. Read Ruby books and blogs: There are many great books and blogs about Ruby programming that can help you deepen your understanding of the language and its features. Some good books to start with are "Programming Ruby" by Dave Thomas and "The Ruby Way" by Hal Fulton.

6. Practice test-driven development (TDD): TDD is a development process that involves writing tests for code before you write the code itself. This approach can help you write more robust, maintainable code and catch errors early on.

7. Use tools and frameworks: Ruby has many popular frameworks and tools that can help you write better code more efficiently. Some popular Ruby frameworks include Ruby on Rails, Sinatra, and Hanami.

By practicing regularly, collaborating with others, and staying up-to-date on the latest developments in Ruby, you can improve your skills and become a better Ruby developer.

I want to share some example for code improvement suggestion by ChatGPT, let me share one for ruby code:



Here, in above code snippet I have shared the bad code and its good form improved by ChatGPT, It not only imrove the code quality but also give explanation for each improvement. Also you can ask ChatGPT to do code improvement based on a particular point like security, performance, memory improvement etc. Hope after reading this article you will also sign up to ChatGPT and start using it...
