I use ChatGPT/Claude in bed and when I otherwise don’t have a computer handy like going on walks. When developing isolated code it works just fine without having to specify a lot of detail. For example, I’m working on a Qt QML app backed by Rust but use the mobile interfaces to code up C++ components that are independent of the Rust logic and can be wired together from QML/Javascript. Since the LLMs already have lots of data on how that API works, I don’t need to feed it much info about my project. It actually helps enforce code boundaries.
Otherwise it’s mostly Cursor and Aider.
- satvikpendem 2y agoThat's funny, I do the exact same thing. If I'm out and about or otherwise not at a computer, and I have an idea or solution to a bug I wanted to solve, I'll fire up an LLM on my phone (usually Claude these days) and basically brainstorm together the pros and cons, with code sometimes as well.
- rty32 2y agoCurious -- does this happen to you often? Do you do that for your work (what pays your salary) or personal projects? Do you find it stressful to think about coding all the time?
- satvikpendem 2y agoNot for work, only for personal projects. No way I'd expend that type of effort for something like work, which I put in my 8 hours a day anyway. Stressful, not necessarily, unless there is some annoying bug I haven't been able to solve and deadlines are coming up, but again, that would be mainly for work, not (necessarily) for personal projects, unless I necessarily need to fix that bug to progress further.
