Questions for vibe coders:
What are you spending monthly on #AI just for code? Do you use more than one service? Are you using #chatbots standalone or using AI directly in your code editor?
At work, I'm not authorized to use anything but ms365 chat with my work account.
At home, I want to start a big personal project and have AI work directly on my files from inside #vscode. I've only used #github #copilot in vscode for small projects with the free limits.
I'll pay, if I must.
WWYD?
@effariwhy $20 a month for ChatGPTPlus is all I use and I never run of credits (not even close). OpenAI extension in VSCode will get you pretty far I think.
Check out https://Lucaswassmer.com for what I've done with it. The website itself was built with codex, along with the 3 "apps" on the first section.
Does it make me money? Absolutely not haha, but it's been fun so far.
@Lucas hello fellow HIgher Ed IT person! I will check the Plus version out. I see a lot of vscode extensions for chatGPT as well.
@effariwhy Ha, nice! What school? Click the mode button at the top right of the website to enter IU mode :P
@Lucas currently, I'm at UNC Chapel Hill, formerly at the University at Buffalo. Did AI write a unity app? I've always wanted to work on some unity apps associated with hacking Beat Saber. I am not much of a coder when it comes to the actual human interaction / front end. I've spent most of my years deep in oracle DBs and ETL.
@effariwhy Nice cool to hear from a kindred spirit. I'm relatively newer to the ETL world, but that's what I live and breathe these days.
Yeah it did! Fluffy Wings is not optimized by any stretch, but it does work. I don't know how well it would do hacking beat saber though, there were many hiccups along the way to even get Fluffy to this state. Though it sounds like you have more coding experience overall than me so you might have more luck. I have it just writing C# for all game logic.
