Embrace GitHub Copilot, Cursor AI & ChatGPT as a developer!

AI tools like GitHub Copilot, Cursor AI or ChatGPT are here to stay - as is AI in general!
You can see that as a threat or embrace those tools to boost your productivity!

I show you how to use these tools efficiently in my new course
👉 "AI For Developers With GitHub Copilot, Cursor AI & ChatGPT"

I use mostly in combination vs code with chatgpt in a browser. Chatgpt is quite good to give good startup for an idea ! But coding with it is not buttersmooth, it will sometime only give you part of the solution, even after requesting the full code, it will try to modify some stuff and just break the code. I have to balance between 4o and o1-preview to make something. But I admit that AI in coding is a tremendous help !! As you said, you have to know how to read code yourself before copy/pasting stuff that it gives ... sometimes some bad suprise can occurs. My technik is to git commit as soon as my code works well before testing new code that chatgpt gives me.... I end-up with lots of commit in my logs but it works for me ^^

My job consists of using 3rd party libraries, APIs, Providers, etc... AI can not solve those. I have to read documentations

Cursor is having some issues. When accepting new code it sometimes deletes existing code. But it doesn't shows in the editor in red color during preview

Would thorough testing (unit, integration, functional, usability, performance ) help to mitigate some of the downfalls you mentioned, like bugs? Does your course include how to harness AI to run tests?

Thank you max for the udemy link of this course. Instant buy for me :D

I agree with everything you said, I think we already see the plateau, GPT did not get significantly better in the past 2 years, the difference between GPT 2 and GPT 3 is much bigger than GPT 3 vs o1/Claude. They got faster at generating responses definitely, and the context increased dramatically from the mere 2k tokens we had to now 200k and above (while this increase comes with less "accuracy" sometimes).
What i see now is that the advancements in AI are not made by improving the AI itself but by improving the packaging, this is why Cursor is killing it, they do a lot of non AI stuff to make AI look smart.
Copilot was the pioneer, i would say that the improvement in the quality of life that Copilot brought with the autocompletion is greater than the improvements gained by faster/bigger/new AI models, and the improvements Cursor brought to the table with copilot++ and the composer also are much larger than what the new release of o1 did.

Another thing I see is that to me it seems that also AI companies like Open AI are admitting that models will not get significantly smarter than what they are now and they are setting up engineering solution to workaround the limitations like the chain of thoughts.

The amount of time I've spent fixing wrong AI code would've been much better spent reading docs and / or codebases. It's much better for asking general architecture / best practices questions (even though it makes mistakes there as well) .

What do you think of the latest updates with VS Code copying a lot of Cursor’s features?

[ngrz]

I embraced cursor AI so much that I already used up all my free AI autocompletes already ;p

Hello Max, Can you please make video on backend scalability thorugh different service like kafka, rabbit queue etc?
I will be very thankful to you

[urwrstntmre]

Until they stop deleting existing code, nah

gpt can be a pain.. I'm pulling my hair out just trying to get a flowchat built in vueJS working with gpt. Its fairly complicated.. more so than it sounds... it can be amazing at things you think are difficult and incredibly bad at doing things that are or sound easier. you definitely couldnt use it at all if you knew no code.. but it can bump you up quite a few notches. But you have to ask it a lot of questions to ensure you do understand.. it cannot just build an app for you.

Never!
For two reasons: I refuse to outsource my coding aptitude to a machine, thereby making myself less viable in the work force!
This is baaad advice!

[ademineshat]

it dosent make sense being a developer anymore 😢

The guy is a YouTuber, apparently he has never worked with a real codebase, other than his hello world files!
