Great post!

I have returned too. Rather than trying a project, I have started off with reading a book and trying things out in VSCode. The C# space has changed so much in the last few years, I genuinely feels like starting afresh. It feels like home now though!

Nice article. I have also returned to coding. While the team is working on golang stuff, I am doing all the release and documentation work. Bash, Gh actions, etc. I have also been using GPT for things like getting a kickstart or writing a template for the first draft of a document. My productivity has definitely improved.

Awesome to hear, Andy. I think it can be really helpful to get the scaffolding built (like I wrote about) but also to get a quick start on something you aren't as comfortable with.

Are you worried that company proprietary info will be remembered by ChatGPT?

Yes and no. If you use the OpenAI API they assure you there is no data leaking into the foundational model. “Your data is your data”. If you use public ChatGPT it’s possible you’re leaking IP. I’m working on a personal side project and don’t really care about that. For enterprise purposes I think you have to have a better strategy than my personal one, such as API + MSA.
