I too would be interested in a good forum for like minded folks to share ideas about AI coding!

Same. I don't know if it'd be Lemmy or something else just hosted somewhere, and there might just be 5 of us - if people are interested I can make something today. Strong preferences on platforms? If not I'll make something .

I'm also interested

Count me in as well.

And me!

I’d be very interested in joining this group

Have you done much work on using GPT to *edit* code in an existing codebase? That's been my focus lately, working on my open source GPT coding tool [0]. Generating new code from whole-cloth seems like an easier task for GPT. My tool can certainly do that, as can smol-developer, etc. But you really only do that "once" per project. Can folks use gpt-engineer to modify and extend the code it has already created, as the…

This is something that I've also been wanting to play with. The token limit is too small for my codebase so I haven't really bothered, but it would be nice to tell it all my code and then say "refactor everything of the form `err = foo` into `if err := foo; ...`". If AI is going to take my job, it is going to have to learn to do maintenance!

Perhaps it helps:

Don't entirely copy-paste your code base.

Eg. I adjusted the prompt to the logical separation in my project ( Eg. the module and the task of the class can be derived from it's namespace) and then indexed the codebase through the namespace + classes + method names with their parameters.

It helps adding more codebase to the prompt.

I haven't tried this but how do you get around the fact that it hallucinates functions and variables when doing it file by file? I haven't managed to make an app without error going this route. The only time it produces something working is when I keep it single-file (e.g. html, js and css together) or single-function.

Cool project! I'm working in the same space (a ChatGPT plugin that can edit files within a shared VS Code workspace) and have built something similar to your "repo map" concept, except slightly lower-level: what you might call a "file map" generated by selectively collapsing AST nodes to fit within the available token budget. If ctags isn't cutting it for you, have a look at tree-sitter [1]. It can generate ASTs for…

Glad to hear there are others working on similar things. I've been wishing there was a good forum for like minded folks to share ideas about AI coding, beyond the random drive-by commenting that happens here on HN. I have been looking at tree-sitter quite a bit actually. I love that it has broad language support, which is a key design goal for my tool. My only hesitation is that it doesn't appear to correctly identif…

Hi, I like discussing these topics too. I just created this for this purpose if you want to join me here https://discord.gg/r3vK4xY4

There's also an existing larger "gpt hackers" Discord you might be interested in checking out that I'm not involved with: https://discord.gg/pMjHMvkK
