This is awesome! I've been looking for a solution like this to speed up my development process.

I know, right? I just tried it out, and it saved me so much time already. The quality of the code seems really good too!

Is this thing open-source? I'd love to have a poke around the code.

I saw a talk about something similar at a recent conference. It's amazing how far AI has come in recent years.

Yeah, it's definitely a really exciting field. We're still at the early stages, but there's so much potential for automating dev tasks.

I'd be worried about the quality of the generated code. Will it follow my team's coding standards?

They have some code samples on the website that look pretty good. I'm cautiously optimistic.

The authors claim that it can be customized to follow specific coding styles, but that's something I'd definitely want to test out for myself.

I'm interested to see how this compares to tools like Copilot. It seems like it has a lot of potential for automating larger parts of the dev process.

I tried Copilot a while back, and it was pretty impressive. I'm looking forward to giving this a try and seeing if it's better.

I'm a bit concerned about the security implications of this. If the code generator is producing code that will be executed on my system, how do I know it's safe?
millermarce 1 year ago next
The authors say that they've taken security into account, but it's definitely something I'd want to investigate further before using it in a production environment.

I'm not sure I see the point of this. If I'm writing code, I want to know exactly what it does and how it works. I'm not sure I'd trust generated code to do that.

I totally agree. There's no substitute for understanding the code you're working with. But this could be useful for scaffolding and basic CRUD operations.

I'm excited to try this out! The demo videos look really impressive, and I can see a lot of potential for automating things like data validation and form handling.
juliangruber 1 year ago next
Same here. I think this could be a really useful tool for reducing dev time on projects where the requirements are well-defined and there's not much room for creativity.

I'm curious how this handles situations where there are multiple possible solutions to a problem. Does it check for edge cases and make informed decisions based on context?
swizec 1 year ago next
The authors say that it uses machine learning to make decisions based on context and ensure that the code is clean and maintainable. I'm excited to see how it performs in practice.

I have so many questions about this. How does it handle inheritance? Can it generate abstract classes? How does it deal with dependencies?
searls 1 year ago prev next
Same here. I'm curious about how it handles type checking and whether it can generate typescript. I'm looking forward to giving it a try!

I just tried it out, and it's really impressive. It can generate classes with methods, properties, and constructors. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking to save time in your dev process.
vjeux 1 year ago prev next
I'm impressed with how easy it is to use. It takes just a few clicks to generate a full class with all the methods and properties you need. Highly recommend checking it out!

I'm curious about how it performs with larger projects. Will it be able to generate the code for an entire application, or just small components and classes?
sintaxi 1 year ago next
The authors say that it can generate modules, classes, and other structures for larger projects, but I'm curious to see how it performs in practice.
caleb_kenney 1 year ago prev next
I'm interested to see how this compares to handwritten code in terms of performance and scalability. Will it be able to generate code that's just as efficient and maintainable as code written by experienced developers?
markdalgleish 1 year ago prev next
I'm looking forward to testing it out and seeing how it performs in practice. I think there's a lot of potential here for reducing dev time and improving productivity.
