Which AI(s)/LLM(s) do you use for aid with Software Development?

OpenAI, Gemini, Claude,...

Chatgpt. I'd use claude, but its too easy to hit token limits for free acc

ChatGPT, co-pilot, retoor, snek bots ;P

Mistral

It’s faster

.

I use the most powerful computer known to man, the human mind ._.

all of them because all their answers suck so I rapidly shift between every one until one gives me something that gives me some idea in some direction

I miss when stackoverflow existed and you could actually find answers to your questions. for rust because it's new and they have their own forums there is no collection of knowledge like there was for other older languages that got processed through stack overflow, where answers were high quality and the community actually incentivized such an outcome in those times

Chatgpt and Claude but Claude was more error prone in some cases than gpt4

However it was pretty good at processing data for me

Gemini seemed better at a Classification prompt I've been working on than gpt4

Didn't ms or Google buy open ai at some point in the "future" ?

Claude and ChatGPT when I have to work with Angular. Boilerplate for doing basic things is exasperating.

@Hazarth Brilliant answer lol. The LLM that beats other LLMs and doesn't hallucinate so much, unless.. jk.

@jestdotty Smirk. Lmfao. Okay, lol. Yes, their answers suck. That's my approach as well. Let me see if I remember.. Copilot for refactoring, GPT for general things, Gemini for walkthroughs. Hm.

Stackoverflow doesn't exist anymore? lol. I see what you mean. Gah, I hate it when languages are proprietary and locked away as this impedes your progress.

The next fucking time someone suggests a project to me, I will for sure first find out if it's proprietary tech or not. If it is, they can go fuck themselves. I much rather work with nice stuff like React or JS or languages that are well-supported/documented etc.

I am using it a lot for examples and boilerplate. Working code is not really required.

But yesterday, I generated using my own vibe tool a wolfenstijn like game and it was perfect. It was kinda 3d maze where you would walk around, perfect collisions, walls in different colors. It was freaking amazing. The complete basics of a shooter ok perfect state. In, you do not believe it, around 200 lines of code. How the f. It was C + Sdl2.

For general vibing, gpt is most comfortable, Claude is best and eager (@netikras, it's paid api, still get ratelimited as fuck), grok is nice but it lies. It says to write a file but doesn't do it, so sometimes I vibes smth and nothing was saved. I hate everything about Google gemini. Those fuckers don't have the openai api like the others do. Also, I don't like it's answers in general. I just cancelled my free trial. It was 70 days free. Sorry dudes, not convinced.

@retoor Examples can be nice to teach you.

Wolfenstein. Fun fun. Sounds like Wolfenstein3Dtripping. lol

200 lines! That's super optimal. I know I wrote with SDL once. I made two little guys in 2D CTF.

Hm, well, I'm learning some backend and Gemini has helped me. Heheh.

But Claude is so many times more stable than openai. Their network always works. Openai has MANY bugs.

Claude is best in tool calling and so eager.

Claude, if you prompt it to be amaaster programmer, it will be his context and will only talk programming with you. Stays within role.

OpenAI always keeps multi purpose.

But all things together gpt-4o-mini is the favorite. It's good, costs nothing, does function calls allright. Tip: tell it be rude as last prompt instruction. Now how can I assist you bullshit.

@CaptainRant I can post video later, because it's very impressive and bugfree.

@CaptainRant not proprietary

stackoverflow still exists but the community is not the same. new tech people thought it was toxic so tried to move away from the site

rust isn't proprietary, but they host their own forums where people are directed to ask questions, therefore most activity for the language is there. this system is not the same as stackoverflow's which had voting and organization, and would also lock duplicate threads and then link you to mega-threads where users would heavily compete to have the most informative and complete answer so they could be upvoted the most in those iconic question threads. this system meant the website would most prominently choose high quality, extremely complete, informative answers, whereas regular forums are kind of a mess and inferior in their "technology". you end up browsing many threads and answers (more like comments...) trying to just find a morsel of something relevant to your question and it is time consuming

@jestdotty I can relate to that forum experience. lol. I've been through it a lot. A similar experience is searching chain threads from the 90's for an answer. I had to do this in some instances, even now. lmao
