Or a rock? Or paper even!

So wait is the idea that computers would just be like a monitor that connects directly to Amazon

I’m a web dev what can I do

What

Well not quite - I use ChatGPT more like to brainstorm ideas and sometimes I’ll paste a whole file or two into the prompt and ask what’s wrong and tell it the issue I’m seeing, it usually gives me the correct answer right away or after clarifying once or twice.

I use copilot for tab completion. Sometimes it finishes a line or two sometimes more. Usually it’s good code if it’s able to read your existing codebase as a reference. bonus points for using an MCP.

Warp terminal for intensive workflows. It’s integrated into your machine and can do whatever like implementing CICD scripts, executing commands, ssh into remote servers set up your infrastructure etc… I’ll use this when I really need the ai to understand my code base as a whole before providing any code or executing commands.

So much this. People who say ai can’t write code are just using it wrong. You need to break things down to bite size problems and just let it autocomplete a few lines at a time. Increase your productivity like 200%. And don’t get me started about not having to search through a bunch of garbage google results to find the documentation I’m actually looking for.

Sounds like something that can easily be done with some powerful ai. So the reason it takes so long (why this post is claiming it’s 80%completed) is because of all the manual work. The code is already fully “decompiled” technically as the process of doing so is automatic and only as slow as the device it runs on. If my understanding is correct 80% is roughly how much of the code is rewritten with human readable code. In other words - we understand most of it and we could literally ship it like this with the remaining 20% obfuscated, we just can’t make any changes to that part because we don’t know wtf it does

I don’t get it is it just using screenshot?

I will tell you nothing!

I’m mean… it’s not even how ad block works

Yes this is programming in a nutshell. Where the more experience you have === how long it takes you to hit yourself in the face with a rake
