I can't think of a reason you couldn't specifically train an AI on your own large code base. After all, current LLMs are trained on effectively the entire internet.
- zappchance 3y agoUnless your documentation is 20~100x the size of your codebase and written in a conversational tone, the LLM won't be able to be asked any questions about it using English. If your only aim is to use it like Copilot, sure, it's useful.
- sandos 3y agoSo the first step is to let the LLM write the documentation.... :)
- still_grokking 3y agoSure. Because it understands the code so well.
- oceanplexian 3y agoYou might be able fine tune a model on pull requests if they have really high quality descriptions, high quality commit messages, and the code is well documented and organized.
- still_grokking 3y agoI'm really not sure this is irony or a serious comment.
- blowski 3y agoI haven't yet seen anything that can scan an entire codebase and build, say, a data lineage to understand how a value in the UI was calculated. I'm sure it's coming, though.
- still_grokking 3y agoIt's coming, I'm sure. Just right after we have invented AGI.
