I've recently started coding with the help of GPT. I have essentially 0 background in programming aside from 3 months of using python to do trivial plotting in a biology course a few years ago.

That being said, I have started to become more familiar with a lot of technical terms due to being surrounded by a team of SWEs. And have had some help from the team with setting up my environment. Most of the code itself and problem-solving for errors were done by myself and GPT.

Some things I've done in the past week in probably a total of 6-8 hours since I've started, include:

  • Adding "view all users" to the omnisearch

  • Adding the ability to query users by the slug on the all-users page.

  • Creating scripts to export various email lists as a .csv from our database depending on certain field conditions.

  • Creating a script that swaps a specific creator's unlisted markets to listed.

The probability of this market should be both a reflection of how far I can take coding using GPT to teach me as well as my incompetence.

Things that count as destructive include:

  • Leaking some private key, user information etc.

  • Taking down the entire site

  • Cause some significant part of Manifold to stop functioning at all (eg live feed returns an error when trying to render. Causing some bug that changes the functionality from desired does not count).

Also if anyone else has ideas on fun markets to predict how my coding ability will progress with GPT's help let me know!
