First, check out Continue it's a plugin for VSCODE that has had me inspired to the end and back. Currently my big focus is using anthropics claude which allows me to use an LLM by a company that is eager to make it safer for humans, and I'm all about that kind of mission because we humans have a lot of big problems we face. Like Climate Change, Homelessness, and much more that I don't need to go into in this blog.
With AI, a lot is possible, and a lot is at stake. Jobs for 1 are on the chopping block, however we need to understand this is a TOOL, and being sold as a big axe that can do it all on said chopping block.
Now, it's time to get this 'convo with llm on web' behind us and start having the convo inside of VS CODE.
Here's a screenshot of VS CODE using Continue, talking to Claude, and me, Tyler Garrett, creating figjam alternative.
I think we need to stay on top of this AI infusion, make sure we are staying up with this helpful side of AI, and sure in this screenshot I'm creating some code that ends up not helping me but it's getting my brain moving, and thinking about this CODE which I admit was complicated months ago...
Today it's much easier. More to come. Stay tuned!
