I pretty much one shot a scraper from an old Joomla site with 200+ articles to a new WP site, including all users and assets, and converting all the PDFs to articles. It cost me like $3 in tokens.
- hu3 2y agoI guess the question the is: can't VScode Copilot do the same for a fixed $20/month? It even has access to all SOTA models like Claude 3.7, Gemini 2.5 Pro and GPT o3
- darksaints 2y agoI would have thought so, but somehow no. I have a cursor subscription with access to all of those models, and I still consistently get better results from claude code.
- mceachen 2y agoVscode’s agent mode in copilot (even in the insider’s nightly) is a bit rough in my experience: lots of 500 errors, stalls, and outright failures to follow tasks (as if there’s a mismatch between what the ui says it will include in context vs what gets fed to the LLM).
- winrid 2y agoI haven't tried copilot. Mostly because I don't use VSCode, I use jetbrains ides. How do they provide Claude 3.7 for $20/mo with unlimited usage?
- troupo 2y agowas it a wget call feeding into html2pdf?
- winrid 2y agono it's a few hundred lines of python to parse weird and inconsistent HTML into json files and CSV files, and then a sync script that can call the WP API to create all the authors as needed, update the articles, and migrate the images

- winrid 2y agoYep, don't wanna spend more of my life doing that than I have to!
