Pretty great video. I might quibble on terminology here and there, but all in all this a good breakdown without being insulting and has great advice at the end.

I love to imagine how the plateau of productivity would look for recently-triggered technologies going through the volatile part of the Hype Cycle. In the latest Register Spill @mrnugget paints a pragmatic "day in the life" view of how he uses an LLM-based AI (ChatGPT4) to help him figure out those hard but routine problems that constantly crop up during programming: https://registerspill.thorstenball.com/p/how-i-use-ai?r=1qshh&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

AI tools have gone through a roller coaster hype over the past year – sometimes wildly disconnected from the quantifiable improvements or limitations in performance. I've been happy to put down money to use some of these tools for everyday productivity, but I also understand why many people reserve a healthy scepticism.

And yet, I sometimes encounter an almost fanatical kickback against the use of ML tools. A couple of months ago someone straight-out blocked me when I mentioned that the Cody plugin for can quickly solve a slightly tiresome reformatting task.

Any tool is as good as the craftsperson, and LLM tools like , , and others can be incredible hammers to drive in nails in tough areas. But as the old adage goes: To the poor craftsperson any problem demands the one tool they know. We shouldn't blame the tool for that.

Let's be great craftspeople and use many tools – and understand the value and limitations of each.

Hey and users, got any fancy tricks for swapping order of e.g. function arguments separated by a comma?

@zash If you don't mind AI in your code, select the line and do

:CodyTask swap arguments

(Using Sourcegraph ; I've got :CodyTask tied to a keyboard shortcut.)

I'm trying. I'm really trying to give Copilot a chance.

So far it's been suggesting reasonable Python code suggestions. Not great, but reasonable.

Too bad I was asking it about Raku and Nushell.

Two key points about SourceGraph Cody discussed by CTO Beyang Liu in this demo (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5L6Ys522snA):

  1. The context from SourceGraph's code intelligence graph feeds the LLM

  2. The same context is used to /validate/ responses, e.g. to make sure that symbols and filenames referenced in the generated code actually exist.
