Have used a few coding models and they are good, but they will not replace a programmer. You can ask for a class to be made, or a method. You can ask it to find issues or improvements with/for your code or spot mistakes, but it can’t hack multiple modules and give you a fully working complex app. It’ll help you learn to code, it’ll write you whatever you ask, but when you start adding the fact you need to know about X for y and z is also important it starts forgetting the original prompt.
Don’t get me wrong. It’s really good. But it’s a tool, not a full on master coder.
Looking forward to getting more tokens to work with on a normal computer. Happy to wait for the CPU to gen code considering the ridiculous prices of high VRAM GPUs these days, but it’s still fisher price ‘My first AI coding assistant’. Give it a few more years, a few more breakthroughs and we will get there.
I have tried GPT Engineer… it’s not there yet. Will make you a simple app, but it’s not going to knock out anything more than modular microshite.
