The Forem codebase, which powers DEV and other networks, is open source, and is therefore great for demonstration purposes.

Wow, almost all are bad ideas :D
if they make a stackoverflowGPT bot, the bot will tell you that your question has already been asked, or that he is not there to code for you or the question in general does not make sence and you need to read some manual.
I do think, however, that SO will eventually have to implement an automated AI-generated answer, with a disclaimer that it might just be nonsense. The danger of negative feedback loops by ingesting its own garbage, and the vast amount of questions that are just chaff to mark as duplicates or otherwise close will lead to some need for a "first, check if the AI can at least give you the right nudge" approach sooner rather than later.
StackOverflow introduced a reminder that says: ""We do not currently allow content pasted from ChatGPT on Stack Overflow; read our policy here.""
[I didn't use the tool ..]
I wonder how will react when
refactoring yourself for double speed
is asked.if you want it or not, some company will publish a product or service that does just that. code suggestions. and your boss, will make you use it...
I have no doubt he will - because big corporate entities just love throwing heaps of money out of the window!
I did similar with a PHP exception. Loved when GPT told me that it made an already private property private.
Even better, I rolled it again and it told me that there was nothing to change because the implementation followed best practices…
(It was most definitely not best practice code)
The robots aren’t taking our jobs any time soon ;)
Hi Ben. As a developer that builds my own products, I want to be able to give it a spec and let it create most of the code, or take my .Net Framework code and migrate it to .Net Core for certain projects. Another good use case would be creating a front end from backend code or vice versa. Maybe something to look into for next year.
GPT is never accurate but it will be someday. Eventually.
From my experiences with ChatGPT, it's 50/50, similar to Github Copilot. The more information and good prompting I give to ChatGPT, the better its' answer and suggestions get.
It is a very helpful tool, and we should utilize it and benefit from it for our productivity.
I don’t get it. Unless I am missing something, those methods that it wants to “extract into their own private methods” are already private methods.
And it doesn’t look like the show or index methods will change at all.
I mean, Forem is already good code. Maybe this would be more actionable on an example of “bad code”? But since it’s all based on a language model, I honestly don’t think so :-)
Yeah, it's possible that it doesn't understand how to parse a Ruby file with the
private
keyword where it is.Neat! Very cool experiment!
Good god!
Cool experiment, maybe if we could train the AI just for refactoring...
