Quickly Setup And Use CodeGPT in VS Code

Lately, the buzz about AI has been inescapable among my peers – especially around OpenAI’s GPT-4 and its implementations: Chat GPT, VideoGPT, and DALL·E. Tools like these are rapidly changing how we interact with and develop on the internet. They are defining our future. Web 5.0 is here, believe it or not, and AI is a big part of that.

Using Open AI’s GPT-4 doesn’t come without some controversy, but the implementation of CodeGPT within VS Code should not cause concern. Time-traveling, unstoppable intelligent robots are not coming after you… at least not just yet.

In this post, I’ll briefly cover why using CodeGPT is helpful, how to use it, and how to set it up. Let’s get started!

To Rewrite or Not to Rewrite?

To Rewrite Or Not To Rewrite

A recent project got me thinking about the old trope that, upon getting involved in an existing project, the first thing any developer wants to do is rewrite it.

Obviously, that’s not always true, and in fact, I’ve rarely been tempted. But the following situation made the thought cross my mind, and it also led me to realize the reasons I didn’t bite.

Let’s talk about it, but first, I’ll talk more generally about rewriting codes, the potential benefits, and the reasons it’s typically best not to.

One of my favorite things about the life journey that I find myself on is that I’m always learning. Every. Single. Day.

Some days I learn something new… most days I learn something new, actually. But then there are the days when I am reminded of something I learned years ago but have somehow forgotten for a time.

The Mythical Person Month is one such topic. It is a distinct and important lesson that I have learned many times now it seems.

Intro to Vite

An Introduction To Vite

Josh Green Articles, JavaScript, Tutorial Leave a Comment

In this blog, I’ll be introducing Vite, a JavaScript build tool that strives to be a faster and leaner development experience for modern web projects.

I found Vite while browsing a Reddit thread and saw several users that were very happy with the technology, so I decided to give it a try myself. I’ve found Vite to be extremely fast, which lends well to making little tweaks and adjustments to the code (even in large applications) and seeing those changes very quickly. But be forewarned, Vite is relatively new and can be temperamental.
