  • It’s a glorified autocorrect. Using it for anything else and expecting magic is an interesting idea. I’m not sure what folks are expecting there.

    • It suggests variables and function names I was already going to type more accurately. Better, it suggests ones even when I cannot remember the name because i got stumped trying to remember.
    • It fills in basic control structures and functions more effectively than the IDE’s completion templates.
    • It provides a decent starting point for both comments and documentation (the hard part). Meaning my code actually has comments and documentation. Regularly!

    But I don’t ask it to explain things or generate algorithms willy nilly. I don’t expect or try to have it do something that’s not more than simply auto-completion.

    I honestly like it, even if I strongly dislike the use of AI elsewhere. It’s working in this area for me.


















  • They expose themselves to risks simply by living in Russia.

    Holy hell. That is absolutely not how the world works. People have no choice in the circumstances of their birth and frankly not a whole lot of control over their lives either. Such behavior is reckless and shows a wanton disregard for other human beings.

    Please stop. Putting random people at risk of having their lives destroyed by the authoritarian regime in which they were born into is so incredibly shameful.

    What an incredible display of emotional immaturity. So much so I assume this must be trolling.

    Grow up. Quickly.

    Edit: make yourself useful and target people that matter if you need to express yourself. I hear Putin and everyone connected to him is a good choice.
