I can't share my code, but I do things like "here is my Livewire component and here is the blade view, remove these three properties and replace it with a Carbon object". And then I paste like 400 lines of code and walk around in my office. After a minute, I have sometimes 100% working code (PHP but also the frontend), that I can paste back in PHPStorm. Sometimes GPT-3.5 can do this, but sometimes I need to use GPT-4…

Yes I played briefly with copilot and it was amazing in some ways, and useful, but perhaps not revolutionary. WHat you describe seems quite different. Is the chat window still the way, there must be good ide plugins by now or soon?

It’s trivial to write a tool that interacts with the “ChatGPT 4” API to do exactly what you’re thinking of.

The tools are coming faster than you’d think, it’s just that most of the IDEs need a couple months to go through UI design, QA, testing, debugging, documentation, and release.

You're right. My point was that you're wrong because he literally said what was happening.

Sure, they said they know what is going on. The essence of my statement was that they don't know yet :-) You're assuming self-reflection is always perfect, I am saying they are on a path... I don't really see a contradiction here...

Kottke, as an often self-reflective writer, is likely to know much more about his internal mental state than you do. That's my point. So it's not so much that I am assuming he has perfect self-reflection as it is that your wild speculation is much more likely to be off the mark than accurate. That's all I meant.
