What are good alternatives to GitHub for private repos + actions? I'm considering moving my company off of it because of reliablity issues.

Having a layer of parallelisation on top of good old sequential code seems like a very neat idea. It resolves headaches of learning how to run code in parallel in languages that aren’t necessarily my primary language (e.g. short, one-off scripts). Thanks for sharing!!

Does it now work properly with Next 13 and server components?
pimpl · 3 years ago
I think patterns and best practices are still yet to be figured out. I believe you can create caller in a server component and it should work (https://trpc.io/docs/server/server-side-calls#create-caller), but the pages router appears to be a battle-tested solution.

I've used tRPC and Next.js for a couple of personal projects and it's been a great experience. Hard to beat on iteration speed, especially when used with a pre-configured template like Create T3 App: https://create.t3.gg/.

Glad to see you active here in the comments. Apologies if my comment comes off harshly, my intent is not to tear you down. I think there is a lot of gray space when it comes to using LLMs for generating code. Your usage here is certainly interesting, and I appreciate the additional context and discussion you’ve been providing.

No worries at all! I agree that there's probably lots of people blindly copying and running code from LLMs without any reflection. Just like it often happened with StackOverflow snippets before ChatGPT (to the point it became a meme). I'm definitely not one of them.

I find it odd Chatgpt was mentioned at all. It was almost like an advertisement.

I have read post linked here similar to this one, but I can’t recall another instance in which the author abruptly said they relied on stackoverflow to code something unless the content was a meta commentary on coding and debugging itself.

Author here. My intention was to show that you can use it to help you get going quickly for a very practical, one-off, and self-contained use cases. As I mentioned in other comments already, I did not trust it blindly and did not share any sensitive data with it. Definitely not an ad!

I'm a huge LLM skeptic, but I'd disagree with you here.

I think using ChatGPT to write long-lived code for a serious application is a bad idea. But I think it's fine for somebody knowledgeable to use it for throwaway and first-draft stuff in areas that aren't their daily work.

Here's the author in question: [edit: wrong Piotr Mierzejewski in tech, see below]

He looks perfectly competent to me to evaluate the effects of some one-shot scripting code, so I think "giving away trust and hoping for the best" is a wild exaggeration of what actually went on.

Genuinely curious: How much time would you say you saved prompting for and then carefully reviewing and testing those scripts for bugs, versus writing them yourself?

And for context what's the average line count we're talking about here? Tens of lines? Hundreds?

pimpl · 3 years ago
I'd estimate it that it saved me a couple of hours tops. They were simple, self-contained scripts with at most 150 LOC.
