I've been trying to use it for C++ development and it's maybe not completely useless, but it's like a junior who very confidently spouts C++ keywords in every conversation without knowing what they actually mean. I see that people build their entire companies around it, and it must be just web stuff, right? Claude just doesn't work for C++ development outside of most trivial stuff in my experience.
- VortexLain 7mo agoGPT models are generally much better at C++, although they sometimes tend to produce correct but overengineered code, and the operator has to keep an eye on that.
- logicprog 7mo agoModels are also quite good at Go, Rust, and Python in my experience — also a lot of companies are using TypeScript for many non web related things now. Apparently they're also really good at C, according to the guy who wrote Redis anyway.
- widdershins 7mo agoIt's working reasonably well for me. But this is inside a well-established codebase with lots of tests and examples of how we structure code. I also haven't used it much for building brand new features yet, but for making changes to existing areas.
