Programmers hate this one trick: Chatgpt

[Soukuw]

Have you guys successfully got chatgpt to spit out working scripts? I got it to spit out a tampermonkey script that actually functions. It took a few tries but it functions. I can tell it's not great though since I had to ask it one step at a time to fix each issue.

The script just replaces broken images on a map with a new image.

Code: [Select]

// ==UserScript==
// @name         HearthWorld Thingwall Marker Fix (Zoom Safe)
// @namespace    https://map.hearthworld.com/
// @version      1.1
// @description  Replace the broken thingwall marker icon on the HearthWorld map (zoom-safe)
// @match        https://map.hearthworld.com/*
// @grant        none
// @run-at       document-idle
// ==/UserScript==

(function () {
    'use strict';

    const BROKEN_ICON_PATH = '/icons/thingwall.png';
    const REPLACEMENT_ICON = 'https://files.catbox.moe/wqb370.png';

    function fixThingwallMarker(img) {
        if (!img.classList.contains('leaflet-marker-icon')) return;

        const src = img.getAttribute('src');
        if (!src || !src.includes(BROKEN_ICON_PATH)) return;

        // Prevent infinite loops
        if (img.dataset.thingwallFixed === 'true') return;

        img.dataset.thingwallFixed = 'true';
        img.src = REPLACEMENT_ICON;
    }

    function watchMarker(img) {
        if (img.dataset.thingwallWatched) return;
        img.dataset.thingwallWatched = 'true';

        // Fix immediately (important for zoom rebuilds)
        fixThingwallMarker(img);

        // Fix if image fails to load
        img.addEventListener('error', () => {
            img.dataset.thingwallFixed = 'false';
            fixThingwallMarker(img);
        });

        // Fix if Leaflet resets the src during zoom
        const attrObserver = new MutationObserver(mutations => {
            for (const m of mutations) {
                if (m.attributeName === 'src') {
                    img.dataset.thingwallFixed = 'false';
                    fixThingwallMarker(img);
                }
            }
        });

        attrObserver.observe(img, {
            attributes: true,
            attributeFilter: ['src']
        });
    }

    // Handle existing markers
    document
        .querySelectorAll('img.leaflet-marker-icon')
        .forEach(watchMarker);

    // Watch for new markers added during pan/zoom
    const domObserver = new MutationObserver(mutations => {
        for (const mutation of mutations) {
            for (const node of mutation.addedNodes) {
                if (node.nodeType !== 1) continue;

                if (node.tagName === 'IMG') {
                    watchMarker(node);
                } else {
                    node
                        .querySelectorAll?.('img.leaflet-marker-icon')
                        .forEach(watchMarker);
                }
            }
        }
    });

    domObserver.observe(document.body, {
        childList: true,
        subtree: true
    });
})();
Anybody know anything about programming? Does this happen to be an absolutely terrible way to do this? Have you guys got chatgpt to write a simple program for you?

plenty of times. ive created custom GPTs that build python and JSON scripts to help automate data entry at my company. i would never trust it to make a full fleshed program but its pretty damn good at organizing numbers and categorizing information

whether it’s the most optimized thing or not is a swing in the dark but forget it if it works it works

Yeah it's a bit funky, maybe if it was the paid version it wouldn't be but it frequently seems to forget things in between prompts
