Every time I see someone extolling the virtues of LLM code generators I can't help but have the opinion that they must be shitty developers.
Copilot, Cody, Jetbrain's AI thing. All of them are helpful tools for a small set of tasks, like a super-charged code completion tool. But nothing more than it.
- teaearlgraycold 2y agoMy favorite thing to use them for is JSONSchema/TypeScript interface code generation. The alternative for large objects is that I might just YOLO the code. So Copilot’s stupid but fast typing skillset is pretty useful. These kinds of translation tasks are unsurprisingly an area where a language model performs very well.
- elzbardico 2y agoYep, and this is a great time saver, but more importantly, focus and morale saver. There's a definite benefit of being freed from toil, from boring stuff like that.
