I'm on an adventure to get #gpt4 to code its own VSCode extension πŸ—Ί

Starting from scratch with Language Models, I'll share every discovery, insight, or rambling that crosses my mind along the way.

So, if you're interested, here's a link to every part πŸ‘‡
1️⃣ The honeymoon part

In which I start my journey and quickly diverge into publishing a full website using mostly #gpt4 prompts
2️⃣ Leaning into prompts

In which I make the mistake of continuing my part 1 thread and quickly diverge into some insights about #gpt4 prompting, and the parallels to standards in #leanengineering
3️⃣ 🎡 Who runs the world ? 🎡 Money, money runs it

In which I'm severely torn between paying and waiting, so I quickly diverge into the economics and future of a #gpt world
4️⃣ The LLM zeigeist

In which I actually work on my extension before quickly diverging to contemplating the future of the web 🌏
5️⃣ Almost getting things done

In which I actually add some capabilities to my extension before pondering on the impact working with #gpt4 has had on my code
6️⃣ Chat initialization πŸš€

In which I lose my chat history on #gpt4 and end up talking about initial prompting to setup the chat
7️⃣ The finale

End of season one as I publish a Chrome extension and write about new #gpt4 discoveries
Thanks for following me on this journey and watch out because Season 2 is on its way

So follow me and πŸ”” to get notified of upcoming threads

πŸ€– My LLM Week 1 & 2 πŸ€–

#gpt4 was only publicly released 14 days ago

Yet, the LLM world is moving really fast, and people are noticing that it's an "iPhone moment"

But if you haven't been able to play catch up, here are the 3 top topics that caught my attention πŸ‘‡
1/ The paper on jobs impacted by #gpt dropped
And #llm replacement is already starting and hitting some

🏁 On with S02E01 of my saga for the AI-enabled developer

In this issue, I want to talk a bit about the elephant in the room 🐘

A topic that's not really mentioned for #gpt4's web users cause you need to preserve the magic πŸͺ„

Yep, I'm gonna talk about max context size πŸ‘‡

1/13
☝️ #gpt4 doesn't remember everything

Have you heard of 8K and 32K contexts?

Apart from pricing πŸ’Έ, do you know what it really entails?

It means that your chat actually has a short-term memory 😢

2/13 Image
If you are a #gpt pro user, have you noticed that it keeps forgetting rules from time to time?

And have you noticed that the longer the messages & response, the faster it seems to forget?

Well, that's because of context limitations

While I went off track once again, I managed to ship something πŸŽ‰

Here is the content of pAIRprog chrome 0.0.1:
πŸ”Έ Copy Github issue + answers into prompts
πŸ”Έ Copy StackOveflow issue + answer into prompts

It's under review, but it'll drop here: chrome.google.com/webstore/detai…

1/10
Of course, #gpt4 is coding most of it

But I'd say it's a 70% / 30% effort split this time

It provided a lot of outdated answers
> So I needed to feed it Github issues
> Which is tedious
> Which is why I'm making this extension πŸ™ƒ

But I learned a lot along the way πŸ‘‡

2/10
πŸ’‘ #gpt4 "knows" the HTML of popular sites

I asked it to write code to add a "copy as Prompt" link for @StackOverflow

I remained as vague as possible, yet it wrote me the right CSS classes in the selector 😦

🏁 And on with part 6

Let's take a turn and work on the Chrome Extension cause I believe I'll be getting it out way before the VSCode one

I'm not waiting for the web to get promptful so I'm taking maters into my own hands

1/11
As always, #gpt4 is setting up and creating everything for me admirably. Although I see some questionable configs in eslint, prettier and tsconfig if it tries to provide them

Oh πŸ’© !

I've been keeping the same chat window to keep as much context as possible. But because of this, I now have to deal with resets

I need to be able to get a new chat window up to speed as quickly as possible ⏱

🏁 Like a plumber would say, "Let's-a-go" with part 5

This time, I'll focus a bit more on the development side cause that may be why you've come here in the first place πŸ˜—

1/13
#chatgpt's been great to pop up new projects (albeit some outdated methods once in a while)

But now that we're getting to the meat of software making, which is actually more than following a gettin' started page, a couple of things are happening

Time for numbering #️⃣

2/13
1️⃣ I need to provide more context more often

Yep, the large data set it's been trained on is not enough. Now it needs to be aware of local context which means:

πŸ”Έ Reminding it of folder structure
πŸ”Έ Giving files content
πŸ”Έ Giving dependencies content
πŸ”Έ Fetching it doc

🏁 On with Part 4 of my #gpt4 saga

Between pricing (I'm cheap as f😡k) and rate limiting, I'm now spending half my time writing

Truth is, I quite enjoy it so let's gooooo πŸ‘‡

1/15
So at least the #GPT4's API is available for prompting.

But I don't like the playground

πŸ‘ΆπŸ» I need pairprog-webview, nextjs, tailwind to chat with your own API
πŸ€– Sure thing
πŸ‘΅πŸ» Wow, this API call looks quite outdated and doesn't work
πŸ€– ermmm...

How do I solve this? πŸ€”

2/15
Open up platform.openai.com/docs/api-refer…

Copy, paste into @euangoddard ✨magnificent✨ "Paste as markdown page", copy back, paste to #gpt4

πŸ‘ΆπŸ» Here's the updated doc
πŸ€– K boss
βœ‚οΈ > πŸ“‹ > ▢️

✨ It works ✨
