I think it's a lot harder than it sounds. First, nobody can estimate time well enough to know how long something would have taken without AI. And then, it's comparing apples to ora…

It's not possible to tell if you're 10x faster, or even faster at all, over any non-trivial amount of time. When not using a coding agent, you make different decisions and get the …

For everyone complaining about the issues with app shortcuts when using Dvorak, the solution is to use a keymap that switches to QWERTY when you hold down the CTRL or CMD key. It i…

This looks pretty cool, but from the page I can't tell if there's any interactivity supported...there's a button example but it seems to have no click handler? Okay, from the examp…

Okay, I see what you mean now.

Why were lamplighters better off in the long run, is "lamplighter" a term that means more than just somebody who goes around lighting the streetlamps at night? Honestly that seems …

They have no leverage against Apple, so I'm not sure what options they have. They can drop off the service and lose all revenue, while affecting no positive change. Other strugglin…

I might be missing your point, but I'm not sure abolishing copyright would make much of a difference, in terms of increasing the number of people who can professionally make media.…

I like the message, but I feel like the article doesn't support the headline. Instead, it seems to be saying that you should make something that you are passionate about, and in re…

Post-mortem from after the stream today: https://devlogs.fun/projects/127-8bitbrain/log

I thought it would be fun to have a fully AI twitch streamer that could interact with chat while playing a game. Since Colossal Cave Adventure is simple to parse on the console, I …

That's true, but it works with smaller pieces of code already. You can paste a function into ChatGPT and it will attempt to explain how the code works. Maybe there are enough exist…

Thanks for the links, I'll take a look at this and see if it's something I could reasonably achieve.

I see, that's what I was worried about. It would be really helpful if it could answer high-level questions about a big confusing codebase, but maybe it's not just a matter of showi…

That looks promising! But I think it only works on small snippets of code and doesn't have an overview of the whole codebase...still, maybe it's coming down the line as they improv…

Yeah, and this is pretty useful for small bits of code, but what I want is a way to ask questions about large projects. It would be nice to ask something like "which classes are re…

Does anyone know if there's a way to use this technology to help understand a large codebase? I want a way to ask questions about how a big unfamiliar codebase works. It seems like…
