Hey Michael and Justin, I just wanted to let you know that I rebuilt a small web app (used by ~2K people/month) with help from Phind V1, and I found it extremely useful.
The old app used Vue 2, PHP, and a dead build system. The new one uses Vue 3, Vite, and TypeScript (with serverless functions hosted on Vercel for now). This was the first time I'd used Vite and TypeScript seriously, and although I was familiar with Vue 2 it was my first time using Vue 3 for a project.
Phind saved me a ton of time (I'd estimate 50%) and hassle on the tasks I used it for. As an "enthusiast" software engineer, I asked it a ton of dumb questions that I couldn't possibly have asked on Stack Overflow, in Discord channels, etc.
Just so this doesn't come off as completely fawning, it wasn't unusual for it to be confidently wrong, in which case I'd correct Phind and try again. It was rare that I couldn't eventually get to a correct answer by correcting Phind's assumptions, missing information, or mistakes.
Best of luck to you and the team!
- rushingcreek 3y agoThanks for the feedback! One of our main focuses for Phind V2 is reducing cases where it is confidently wrong by asking the user clarifying questions when it's stuck.
