ChatGPT is INSANE at Refactoring Code!

Introduction
In a recent video, a script detailing the adjustments to a weather API using the OpenWeather API was showcased. The script initially had a few issues that needed fixing. The first task was to adjust the code to utilize a weather API settings object instead of injecting a configuration object. With this modification, the code became more organized and less reliant on unnecessary variables.
Next, the HTTP request logic was extracted into an OpenWeatherMap service, which also introduced an interface. However, for the sake of simplicity, it was recommended not to create an interface in this scenario.

FAQ
Q: Why is it important not to inject a configuration object in the code?
A: Injecting a configuration object can lead to unnecessary complexity and dependencies. Using a dedicated settings object allows for more flexibility and easier management of the API settings.
Q: How can interfaces impact the structure of the code?
A: While interfaces can be useful for defining contracts and ensuring adherence to specific methods, they can also add unnecessary complexity. It's important to evaluate whether interfaces are truly needed for the particular use case.
