Creating mini tools is pretty effortless with any AI code gen tool. Maintaining them, adding additional features, scaling, etc. are things that require humans.
I believe every Jr dev should be learning how to use code gen tools as they are likely here to stay, but not overly rely on them, and use them like any other tool.
This seems like Wordpress suicide. I've only somewhat followed the drama between Matt and WP Engine, but from what I can tell WP Engine technically isn't doing anything wrong. But it's very much a fine line. Going nuclear and blocking WP Engine customers (and Wordpress users) though seems like the worst way to go about handling this dispute and will cause a ton of goodwill to evaporate and trust issues to build up.
They do transfer to the next owner if you sell it, unless you sell it/trade it in to Tesla. In that case they remove it and charge for it again (or sometimes to boost sales they'll include FSD in used cars)
I've had FSD since the very first beta and honestly even the 13 mile number is generous. Maybe on freeway only driving it's every 13 miles. On city streets, it's more like every 1-2 miles requires manual intervention unless you want to be the biggest nuisance on the road and a total jerk to everyone around you.
Def don't take my word at face value. I'm just sharing my experience and knowledge, but the great thing about most of these tools is that many offer usable free tiers or very low-cost plans that don't require any sort of lock in. So try the tools yourself, for your use cases, and see if it's a fit or not.
Personally, I have seen a ton of change in the last 4-5 months, so if you haven't tried these tools recently, I encourage you to try them today and see what's possible.
Many services that power https://videotap.com/ have recently been rewritten with the help of AI.
Recently I used Cody to rebuild the entire video processing pipeline and made it much more efficient and scalable, and I actually learned a ton about ffmpeg by pair programming with the AI. Now I'm building additional features into this app, mostly w/ just iterative prompting or chat-oriented programming to replace 3rd party services that are still in this pipeline and it's been a blast.
I've also used AI tools to really brush up on frameworks, like Laravel, that I haven't touched in a while, and it's been a great experience. Also started building a game w/ Godot and found AI super helpful there in walking me step by step. So for me it's been great.
Since gpt came out I have built tons of throwaway apps, plenty of specialized apps for side projects, and experimented with tons of ideas that I likely wouldn’t have if I didn’t have access to a tool to build it for me from just asking it to do it and explain what it did. Claude artifacts has been awesome for this. Cody when I actually want to build it out. I recommend trying it before you knock it.
I believe o1's context window will increase over time as well. It's a new model that takes a different approach compared to other ones, so testing it with less context seems logical and expanding the context window as it's quality is validated.
Even in a large code-base, you don't have to have the full context of every single file for every single question, can usually get away with half a dozen files, it's figuring out which ones to provide to the LLM to get the best response.
I run DevRel at Sourcegraph and our AI coding assistant, Cody, is used by tons of individuals, small business, and large enterprises. I get to talk to a ton of customers and see how their adoption of AI is going. And it's certainly increasing and developers are finding a ton of value.
Code AI tools today absolutely crush at creating proof of concept apps. You can test your idea and get market validation in days vs months.
They are getting better at medium/large codebases, but still have a ways to go before being super useful and it translating to a huge increase in productivity. Currently it's really good for helping with the menial tasks (creating docs, unit tests, understanding and onboarding) but not quite there yet when it comes to integrating gen ai code in large codebases, but it's only a matter of time.
Not surprised at all. Facebook owns the platform and outlined in the ToU that they can do whatever they want with the content you post on there.
At least it's better than scraping content off platform (which I'm sure they've done) and using that, but using content posted on their own platform seems like a no-brainer.
