I think this is where the future of coding is. It is still useful to be a coder, the more experienced the better. But you will not write or edit a lot of lines anymore. You will organize the codebase in a way AI can handle it, make architectural decisions and organize the workflow around AI doing the actual coding.
The way I currently do this is that I wrote a small python file that I can start with
llmcode.py /path/to/repo
It then creates a prompt like this:
Look at the code files below and do the following:
{task_description}
Output all files that you need to change in full again,
including your changes. In the same format as I provide
the files below, that means each file starts with
filename: and ends with :filename
Under no circumstances output any other text, no additional
infos, no code formatting chars. Only the code in the
given format.
Here are the files:
somefile.py:
...code of somefile.py...
:somefile.py
someotherfile.py:
...code of someotherfile.py...
:someotherfile.py
assets/css/somestyles.css:
...code of somestyles.css...
:assets/css/somestyles.css
etc
I then look at the changes via "git diff".
It's quite fascinating. I often only make minor changes before accepting the "pull request" the llm made. Sometimes I have to make no changes at all.
Would you be willing to post the llm.py code? (Perhaps in a Github gist?)
She widened the space of science fiction with what she wrote. She got in there with a crowbar and expanded the field and made it a better field… Le Guin expanded the possibilities for all of us, and then she kept on doing that. She didn’t repeat herself. She kept doing new things. She was so good. I don’t know if I can possibly express how good she was.
