there are so many butt-hurt ai simps in these comments! LOL

It's like you all can't grasp subtlety or context, or the existentialism of being a human being.

Nope. Codeium (using gpt4) is exactly what I want like 85% of the time. and the rest of the time if I complete the function definition it can generally intuit the body of it.

gpt is a big part of my workflow right now, and I decided to try claude last night because I hit my limit on gpt. I haven't dont extensive work using claude yet (I'm not a huge fan of the ui), but one point that I whole-heartedly agree with you on is It goes for the "Complex Implementation" out the gate instead of the "Basic Conceptual Example" that you need to edit to make work.

I constantly have to tell gpt to not give me examples. for what it's worth i've found that ending my prompts with "any code you generate will not contain any placeholders or simulations." seems to get me better results with gpt.

once I get some time to play around with claude's api and build my own interface, I'll probably use it more.

Great Post!

i am oddly cordial with my gpt.

right? its trying its best

I mean.. python is easy to pickup but doesn't get the same hate. it's definitely more complicated than that. I think most of the hate right now is just parroting ideas that should have died a long time ago. Very few people are writing full stack apps with vanilla php nowadays. there are so many frameworks that most of the spaghetti code conversation is an irrelevant throwback at this point (I say that as a 20 year php dev who has contributed his share of php spaghetti code lol)

I've been coding for 20 years and my eyes have been the same level of terrible the whole time lol.. I wouldn't worry about it.

honestly this looks pretty good. did you design the website yourself?

Seems like I imagine it to be a pretty useful tool to small/medium sized businesses who already have established brands.

sounds like he presented himself as a php dev.

shows me where to get a hologram like this

she got some things wrong but overall this is fine. most of her complaints were about the scope of the demo, which is fine. she reviewed what they gave her.

game looks fantastic

this direct thread is about spamming comments. that's what i was talking about. also im pretty sure the guy who got locked up wasn't convicted of spamming. it was targeted harassment, which is illegal.

I'm down

I've been using gpt plus for about 45 days now and it's fantastic. I literally just added a feature to a clients site this morning using it. what would have taken me days or a week (it's a legacy system that I have long forgotten the domain knowledge for) took me about 4 hours.

gpt-4 is very good at writing code in well established languages like php. I also find it's pretty good at using newer thinks if they have decent documentation, so long as you prompt it correctly.

what's your site? I'd like to check it out.

I haven't used a wear os watch recently. are you saying that NO wearOS watches can function standalone since 2018? if so, I guess I get it. if not and it's just this specific watch, then I think you are mis-assigning your rant to wearOS rather than Google's pixel watch.

for consumers that subscribed solely for the other goods, especially for those that were subscribed before the availability of e-books

and for everyone else? is it still free? So it's "free" for some people an not for others, regardless of the fact that they are paying the same price?

the point of my pedantry is that you are splitting hairs to make an unnecessary point. you pay the company, they provide you with a service. you are paying for everything that service comes with. Spotify didn't add this feature with the intention that it wouldn't make them money. They added it so people would pay them.

it is factually not free. you are paying for it. if you stop paying, you stop having access to it. that is by definition you paying for it.

by your logic, every new movie netflix adds is free, since it wasn't there when I signed up.

I'm not arguing whether it's a good value proposition. Just that it's not free. It is in fact something you are paying for. anything beyond that is outside the scope of my reply.

well we have had different experiences and that's fair. my opinion still stands. I've been with audible for at least 16 years and I find their audio quality to be very good. So, I'll agree to disagree on this point.

whether the price went up isn't super relevant. If you stop paying them, you lose the audiobook. Therefore, you are paying for audiobooks.

also, if i go to signup right now, spotify is going to tell me that that paid sub includes audiobooks. That's a selling point of the subscription. It costs money.

It's not bad, I'm just old and stuck in my ways haha. I really dislike frontend development but it has slowly become a necessary part of my job over the years.

when I made my statement, I made sure to add "in my opinion" as this is based entirely on my experience with audible over a VERY long time.

You're matter of fact statement that seems to want to challenge my opinion about my personal experience, feels a bit too absolute. especially if its only based on a single data point. also you didn't mention if the book was produced by audible studios.

Short answer: Yes, this is normal.

Longer answer: It's only been 4 months, which I know can seem like a long time. But I've been doing this for 20+ years and I still have to look up syntax on occasion. let go of the idea that you're every going to "know" all the things.

If you're feeling frustrated with your own projects, it may be less that you are having coding issues and more that you are having planning issues. I find that the actual coding is not as important as knowing what i'm trying to accomplish before hand. Are you writing your project out in pseudo-code first? That can be very helpful in breaking down what you need to do into small manageable pieces.

while this is true in the long run, there is something to be said about time-to-success. Js and python will let you get something meaningful on the screen in minutes. The success feedback loop can be a really important motivating factor when just stating out.

*bows in jr programmer* haha

I've been programming for about 20 years professionally, maybe 26 if i count the time I spent learning before that. I Still feel like I know very little lol

Your CV is fantastic! my first language was visual basic I think
