psy Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Got completely stuck on some coding issues. As a last resort I started a conversation with ChatGPT (free version). I had 2 problems. Problem #1 took me & ChatGPT a while to solve but we got there in the end. Now working on Problem #2. Not yet solved but ChatGPT has given me some ideas. Here's how we ended up tonight: Not only did ChatGPT give me some great ideas, it was more polite, encouraging and patient than most people I know. 😍😂 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only my dev life. It's also still crazy to call given results an "idea", but I guess we don't have better words for it so far... If you liked the experience try https://www.cursor.com/ or https://windsurf.com/. I started with cursor, then gave windsurf a try for some weeks. I switched back to cursor, because cursor tab so so extremely well at predicting what I want to do next, that I feel it makes me extremely faster all the time while I'm working. Windsurf on the other hand felt better when asking it to create files, read the codebase, have a chat or use it for non-dev questions (like a web search or some other crazy tasks). While both are already next level compared to copy-pasting things to chatgpt, because they know "everything" about your codebase, I think cursor tab is a different beast. It's there for you all the time. You just type three letters and it predicts 3 lines of code. It's incredible powerful in my opinion and it's also great and fun to learn. Because sometimes it predicts new patterns and then you can look that pattern up and if it's a good pattern to know and use you can keep it in your mind and start using it on your own. If you use AI only actively when asking specific questions you miss out on this. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wbmnfktr Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 I totally support what @bernhardsaid and I just want to add: VS Code Insiders with Github Copilot - for free. Not sure why and how but the results feel a bit more nuanced at times. Combined with Cline/Roo you even could add a free Gemini 2.0/2.5 key which outperforms in conceptual tasks (PRDs/SOPs) quite often. All you need to do is installing VS Code Insiders, add Copilot through the interfaces provided (you can't miss them!). I enjoy writing mass content, like docs with it, as it doesn't ruin my credits in Windsurf/Cursor. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elabx Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 I love this goddamn AI blackmagic too, miss PHPStorm like the dessert miss the rain but what to do, their AI integration is just subpar compared Cursor's. Anyone working with rules for ProcessWire? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Working? It's more a fight, especially with ProcessWire but most of the time and patience everything works out great. Recently pushed my last/latest iteration of my PWAI setup. Very opinionated especially in terms of settings, tools, and extensions, but hey... https://github.com/webmanufaktur/pwai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U the MVP, I guess it's the usual ProcessWire double edge sword, since possibilities are up to you, well, gotta work on your flavor of AI rules. 🦾 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wbmnfktr Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Correct. You have to test everything with your setup, workflow, and everything. Even between projects I have to tweak lots of things. I guess in total about 5 different variations of setup are in that repo. Test it. Tweak it. Even feel free to raise a PR. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
