Back to coding like caveman! Harumph
- redeux 3y agoThere's always copilot ... and the 10k other AI tools now.
- clnq 3y ago9k of which are GPT wrappers ranging from very thin to substantial. It's very interesting, actually, that there's a single point of failure for so much AI software now.
- dbtc 3y agolike AWS
- sebzim4500 3y agoUnfortunately without the uptime of AWS. I'm sure they'll get there.
- Yajirobe 3y agoI gotta say it's impressive what sort of reach OpenAI has with less than 400 employees
- danielcampos93 3y agoThats because they have an army of sell-swords via MSFT
- samstave 3y agoWith the previous head of Hacker News as CEO... @sama its not that hard to see how far his reach may be.
- sidibe 3y agoI discovered Bard can actually be pretty useful when ChatGPT wouldn't load for me a few weeks ago. Now I go to it first just to see if it'll give me a good answer quick. If not then see if ChatGPT is available
- chaxor 3y agoYet another reason to run your own local LLM. The new local LLMs are actually better than ChatGPT and approaching GPT-4 capabilities. Checkout Gaunaco - it's absolutely incredibly good, and quite easy to get running at home with a simple Dockerfile.
- quijoteuniv 3y agoNah! you can use google like in the last year, vintage coding is cool. Abstinence symptoms is another issue.
- crakenzak 3y ago> you can use google what?! do we look like uncivilized coders to you? /s

- nixcraft 3y ago> Back to coding like caveman! Harumph You can easily find helpful coding resources like Stackoverflow, blogs, and forums through a simple Google search. Relying solely on one source is not advisable, I think. Cloudflare, AWS, and now OpenAI are all central clouds. This is why we need independent forums, StackOverflow, blogs, etc. Otherwise, it is yet another monopoly. Anyway, it's always important to explore multiple options for accurate information. At least, that is how I do it. YMMV.
- dgant 3y agoFor large categories of questions, I get better answers faster on ChatGPT. If I'm not asking the most basic question on a subject I'm usually better off than I would be searching.
- kweingar 3y agoHere's my rule of thumb: if my search doesn't depend on recent information, and it is likely to return blog spam as the top result, then I will use ChatGPT instead. I still use web search frequently to find project homepages, official and up-to-date documentation, news and announcements, discussion (hearing people's stories of their experiences with a product is a lot better than ChatGPT's noncommittal and abstract pros/cons), searching for videos/images, etc.
- moffkalast 3y agoGPT 4 just got browsing, so I've actually started telling it to do the entire research phase I was gonna do and just let it grind it out without having to despair at Google's abysmal search results. Still a bit unreliable but actually gets it done quite well on occasion.

- mrbombastic 3y agoI was mostly joking but I will say part of the appeal of ChatGPT is 1) it is centralized so basically any question I have I can go to chatGPT versus hunting and pecking on the internet 2) answers are tailored to my needs versus a blog or stackoverflow which will often be close to but not exactly what I need. I’ll survive a few hours downtime but these damn jest timers just got much more annoying to deal with.
- JimtheCoder 3y agoI thought all software devs went extinct last week...
- ChatGTP 3y agoThey’ve been replaced by LLM powered script kiddies with 20 years experience.
