Stop guessing, start prompting — how Java developers can unlock performance, clarity, and cleaner code with the right ChatGPT prompts.
Java code works.
But is it optimized?
Sometimes it runs slower than expected.
Sometimes it looks messy and hard to maintain.
Sometimes it just feels… outdated.
That’s where ChatGPT comes in.
Not as a code generator.
But as a mentor, debugger, and optimizer — if you know how to prompt it.
Good prompts = Better code.
Bad prompts = Generic answers.
In this article, I’ll share 10 ChatGPT prompts every Java developer should use.
Each one comes with:
✅ The exact prompt.
✅ A real Java example.
✅ The optimized version.
By the end, you’ll have a toolkit of prompts to clean, speed up, and modernize your Java code.
