Re: February Recap

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

OK, I will have to say that the CoPilot attempt at a secure Node Express server handling multiple apps was spot on, including certs & keys - would need some flushing out, but it was clean, concise, and would work right out of the box. Perhaps with more iterations and refinements it would do everything you might want.

We didn't have time to try something like proxying - I like to do this with CouchDB so that it is being served locally and not accessible from outside. Or maybe setting up logging. These are cleanly done in node and maybe CoPilot could handle this 'No Problemo'.

HOWEVER, I think that most Angular developers would be disappointed with the result. The code really didn't follow normal structure, also had wierd stuff stuck here and there and would need a lot of scrutiny and fixing to be comfortable with it. Angular's scaffolding generates a clean app and generating components, directives, and services is pretty simple. The CouchDB service was bare, just returning observables and did not handle errors. We did ask it to have the db service return promises instead of observables, but it croaked on this. I would say that we are not CoPilot experts in the least and a lot of study and testing might improve our result but it might be easier to just use Angular's toolset and do the app.

We also had trouble getting front-end output to conform to material design and I think it should really understand this.

We didn't ask for a complex app and maybe I'll play with this and see how it handles an app with routing containing child routes and how well it does separating state into some service and how well it deals with signal(), effect(), and model() and how it handles passing data between components (when I get some time...).

So using CoPilot one can code using normal english but when it comes to classes, interfaces, front-end presentation, logic, etc - you still have to SAY IT with enough exact precision to get a result - why not just code it. If someone has time, see how it handles a rust app, I'd be very interested...

I guess I don't see this getting rid of ER, DFD & state diagrams or somehow eliminating the tough work of getting an app out of design.

This is a somewhat scary tool - just watch the movie 'Wall.e' to see what we might become...!

Anyway, was a good meeting and the 'Chicago Dog' was fine indeed (really was COLD though)...

Despite the frigid Wisconsin cold, we had a good meeting last night.?

I demonstrated VS Code's new CoPilot features. To test it we asked the AI to create an angular app from scratch w/ some special attributes, including connecting to a CouchDB server. It took a few refinements to get a result that we liked, and Cliff is convinced he could have cranked one out quicker with the command line but that's because he's an experienced Angular dev. I know I couldn't have.?

We also had it create a simple multi-app node.js application, which it scaffolded quite nicely. We tested a few iterations of code edits, accepting or rejecting its suggestions. Overall a very impressive beginning to what will certainly revolutionize coding. We've already heard that there are companies who are no longer hiring junior devs, as a senior dev embellished with these AI tools are more productive. It's an interesting time to be starting your developer career.

Afterwards we drove down to Hot Dog Avenue for some Chicago dogs and more. I still have heartburn from the chili.

See ya next month, in what will be the beginning of our 31st year!
