I credit wordle and framed.wtf in the about section. This formatting of games has exploded in the last couple years, it really is a great way to get people returning each day
That's a fair take. I can't overstate Stack Overflow has been in the past, I think I often had that experience that it usually caters to common but specific scenarios, or I'm just impatient and lurk instead of asking a question and waiting for a response. Interesting I could paste Stack overflow discussions into ChatGPT to ask if this insight is related to my issue and it was usually open to relating the new info and helping me
I found this to be the case as well. My out productivity declined as the project became more unwieldy. I wasn't using ES6 so would very much like to modularize things and use imports/exports next time. "Working code is working code" but I'd dread the idea of someone collaborating on top of my spaghetti. Lot of lessons learned in that respect. Having to reset ChatGPT's understanding of the latest code was tiresome.
ChatGPT actually suggested firebase for some very basic JSON event logging output I wanted to produce but I'm just realising AWS has something called amplify?
JavaScript has a reputation for being quirky but I'm assuming it has come a long way in the last 10 years (or maybe not) but very quickly I became comfortable with it in an obviously limited way. Next project I'd be more interested in a framework but I'm glad I cut my teeth trying to understand the basics first
I considered this, but given the way the clues are revealed i think I had to commit to a single answer per needledrop. I mentioned in the 'how to play' disclaimer the subjective nature of the curated list: We’ve selected what we believe to be the first or most iconic instance of each Needle Drop.
Doesn't make it any less frustrating when it doesn't accept a technically correct answer though.
I originally had the default 'pause' functionality up until yesterday but a lot of friends had given the feedback that it can exploited and that a running clock adds to the gametime pressure.
I don't really know. I posted this link in the r/webdev subreddit and there was some pushback that this isn't code that is fit to charge clients for and that it shouldn't be trusted for serious engineering. The point was completely missed- I think an AI agent can supplement your understanding if the documentation is usually targeted at professionals. It's also perhaps a more engaging medium for some learners.
Thank you! Not yet, it's definitely worth a talk or blog post IMO. I don't think it's well known how approachable learning how to code is with this kind of a tool. The way you're able to interrogate a response or ask it to clarify more simply what it is doing- I had so many 'a ha' moments with certain topics that felt overwhelming at first.
Thanks for checking it out. I make users select from the dropdown before allowing to submit. But you have to guess the movie that features this song not the artist :)
I'm very much an interactive learner. Following aa article or youtube tutorial can be frustrating when something goes wrong locally but it's not covered in the material. Then your flow is broken by googling how you can best describe what you think your issue is.
I didn't use VScode or copilot integrations- I was literally just copying and pasting code snippets or errors into the browser ChatGPT. It would suggest code changes back, if ChatGPT only gave me a snippet but I wanted the full file I could just ask.
I understand at some level that it's still just an extremely sophisticated interface but it genuinely feels like magic/sentience. You're not contorted to what you think the limitations of 'how the thing likes to be instructed' like voice commands or Siri. You just talk freely about what you're trying to achieve, show it code and explain in plain language what you think has gone wrong or even that you have no idea why something doesn't work- it just teaches you how to debug.
