SOTA Models for Web Devs: Practical Use Cases

OpenAI

If you need to create the basic structure for a website contact form, instead of writing all the HTML for the labels, input fields (like name, email, message), and the submit button from scratch, you can tell GPT-3.5 or GPT-4 something like: "Create the HTML for a simple contact form with fields for name, email, and a text area for the message, include labels for each, and a submit button." It can then generate that basic HTML structure for you in seconds, saving you the initial typing. Similarly, if you encounter a JavaScript error in your browser's console, instead of spending a lot of time trying to figure out the cause, you can paste the error message and the line of code where it occurred into the AI and ask, "What does this JavaScript error mean and what could be causing it?" It might give you a few common reasons and suggest things to check in your code.

Gemini

Suppose you're experiencing significant performance issues on a complex single-page application built with a modern framework like Vue.js, and you're not sure where the bottleneck is. You could provide Gemini with performance profiling data (like output from your browser's developer tools) and relevant sections of your Vue.js component code, then ask, "Based on this performance data and component logic, what are the most likely causes of the performance issues and what are some potential optimization strategies I could try in Vue.js?" Gemini's advanced reasoning could help you pinpoint areas in your code or architecture that need attention and suggest specific ways to improve performance.

Claude AI

Imagine you've inherited a project with a complex JavaScript function that handles user authentication, and it's not well-documented. Instead of spending hours tracing through the code, you could give Claude the entire function and ask, "Explain what this JavaScript function does in simple terms." Claude can then break down the logic step by step, explaining the different parts of the authentication process. Another example: if you need to explain to a client how the website's new image optimization feature works, you could provide Claude with the technical details and ask it to "Explain this image optimization process in a few short sentences that a non-technical person can understand.".
