This is interesting. As a developer I haven't thought about using GPT to give me a task list instead of code right away. Right now it seems like hit and miss still. The examples can be impressive but also have to be very generic - since GPT doesn´t have access to your codebase. The real game changer will be a few years from now when something like GPT is an addon in VSCode... and it will know about your entire codebase. In fact a wrapper around GPT would tell GPT about all the packages you use, the language, framework etc so much of the prep work this article documents, would be done in the background. Then you could straight up ask the bot to give suggestions to refactor your code, wide sweeping changes. Or ask it to uprgade eg. your Symfony php app from version X to version Y including major upgrade changes... and even if it gets only 90% of the way, you can review everything in git. LLMs will never be embodied but we are so it's like teaching a robot and having it do a lot of grunt work for us. If only we didn't have to listen to all the hubris in Big Tech right now about the metaverse and robots taking over humanity /smh
