GPT-4 got me through porting a near SoTA image segmenter to the browser and building a prototype UX that uses the webcam to grab decals from the real world in a few hours that prob would have taken me at least 5x longer.

#92What all are you using as your primary interface for ChatGPT et al LLMs? I've had some success with OpenAI's default UI but mostly I've been trying out various community Neovim plugins. I feel strongly that I want an in-IDE pair-programming assistant, but so far I've had at least one or more blocking issues with many of the currently available open source options. NeoAI is great - for example - I've had it working we…
I've been really liking Raycast on my mac with the ChatGPT plugin

I have it set up to open on CMD + Space

I have heard good things about the Genie AI VS Code plugin. (I personally decided against installing it because it's closed source)

Yup. We're back to the real problems that matter in sdev -- thinking about the problem, breaking it down, scoping things. Let an LLM do the grunt-work of writing the code, sure.
I agree, but I'm worried about where that leaves junior devs - what are the entry level jobs for coders in a post-LLM future?
They'll be the ones begging and cajoling LLMs to write the code.
Notice that even these days, senior devs aren't supposed to code much - they're supposed to train up junior devs, up to the point said juniors become competent, at which point the juniors join the rank of seniors and begin to teach fresh junior hires.
I.e. increasingly, juniors are the only people actually coding anything, and LLMs will only reinforce this trend.

#95Learning something with GTP-4 is so much more fun than using google/Stack Overflow. It's like having a tutor that knows your code and gives you hints and solutions based on your actual project. It's a real game changer for learning
Yeah, but how do you get access to 4?
Bing is free, and runs on 4.

I applied March 16 and I'm still waiting.
I got API access to GPT-4 almost immediately too, but I know people who have been waiting weeks. On the other hand, I don't have plugin access on ChatGPT yet, even though I applied for that as soon as it came out. There's probably quite a lot of luck involved.
I'm almost at 2 months of waiting at this point.

#97I am happy that so many people get to experience the feeling me and other software engineers feel when we write code. OpenAI democratize some of this feeling and now people that never knew how to code can experience the rush of creating something new using code. In a world where a lot of AI Researchers that develop these amazing models are slowed down by their lack of "normal" engineering skills I think it's very app…
> the smart ones will use this push as an entry point to the software development world rather than looking for an oracle function for software development (which does not exist yet)
Very much agree. I think mentorship becomes even more important now. I have a friends that's switching careers and starting to learn software engineering. Just for fun, I back-seated him while he tried to build a really simple app using GPT-4.
Even with really fine-tuned prompts, some of which I helped with, the code that was generated was either barely readable, had performance issues, and/or in some cases was just completely broken. At the time, I made the quip that for junior/entry-level folks it's like getting cybernetic implants in your legs before you know how to walk or run.

ChatGPT March Version, I think.
But if you're a paid subscriber you can access GPT4 through ChatGPT's interface. Are you saying there's a difference between using the GPT4 model alone vs. the GPT4 model in the ChatGPT interface? If so, could you please clarify with an example?
My understanding is that the author was talking about using GPT-4 via the ChatGPT interface. That's where the 25 messages every 3 hours limit comes from.
When they compare it to regular ChatGPT they are comparing GPT-4 to GPT-3.5 turbo.

#100AI tools are absolutely useless once you get past any initial stage in a software development cycle They just can't comprehend what needs to be done even if all that's required are 2 lines of code However, we keep seeing posts from people who don't know html or how to create a chrome extension paternalizing about how we can be much more productive with AI tools. Last I heard a CEO was demanding dev increased producti…
I’ve been programming for two decades and you’re just plain wrong here. It’s useful throughout the dev process for many things, the worst part right now is just how slow GPT-4 is to run inference. You’re probably not using it right, aren’t using GPT-4, or something. It’s a multiplier, for specific parts of development - the amount of annoying nonsense I no longer have to spend my limited time on earth thinking about makes me want to cry.
