A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

Do you often use ChatGPT for coding?

Maybe it's my prompting skill that are lacking, but to me it feels like a super weak junior dev

Cheap Compute --> God Machines --> Eternal Life. Working on this at /mercury

I use it quite a bit for things that are (1) widespread (= it has a lot of data about it) and (2) I'm not super familiar with 

Faster to kickstart things than going through docs / stackoverflow

yep I agree, I think it's really good at summarizing technical stuff, and answering questions. I use it often for that as well.
But once you ask it to write code 7/10 times it just hallucinates a bunch of stuff, or the debugging is just not worth it lol
Like, the AI should debug my code not the other way around haha

haha yeah for sure, as soon as I see it's hallucinating I usually stop and Google what I need 

I feel like there will be a lot of progress in the coming months though

I also use copilot, would love a more integrated product where I can also ask copilot questions and it has the full context of my code already
