I tried it with this prompt a month or two ago, and again now:
"Write a basic raytracer in Rust that will help me learn the fundamentals of raytracing and 3D graphics programming."
Last time it apparently had working or atleast compiling code, but it refused to push the changes to the branch so I could actually look at it. I asked it, cajoled it, guilted it, threatened it, it just would not push the damn code. So i have no idea if it worked.
This time it wrote some code but wrote 2 main.rs files in separate directories. It split the code randomly across 2 directories and then gets very confused about why it doesn't run right. I explained the problem and it got very lost running around the whole filesystem trying to run the program or cargo in random directories, then gave up.
- jsnell 1y agoYeah, the interaction model around pushing commits is absolutely baffling.
- nojito 1y agoThis isn’t a zero shot tool. Not sure why folks continue to zero shot things.
- SchemaLoad 1y agoThese tools are marketed as if you just drop the jira text in and it spits out a finished PR. So it's notable that they don't work the way they are advertised.
- nojito 1y agoWhich is not what the OP did.
- nonhaver 1y agothere exists tools that can zero shot complex tasks (claude/codex). bar has been raised and jules doesn’t stack up. knowing google it will probably improve in due time
- jstummbillig 1y agoI don't understand the category. Is getting things right not the goal?
