Quite a few people have suggested Claude and have also suggested that a pay tier is worth it, even possibly short-term project. I am not adverse to that, I just want to be sure I don't get stuck paying for something that I only use for a month and then don't have use for again for several months. > i mostly use it for scripting. i guess for serious coding you should use > programs like VSCode or VSCodium along with AI plugins and a subscription to a > AI API service. Or Cursor.com etc pp. Right now what I have been working with has been in nano and not any kind of framework. Do any of those plugins work with linux-based coding frameworks? Also, the program I was really interested in giving AI a shot with is DOS-based, so I am sure there likely are no plugins for any kind of "framework" I might use there! ;) > Gemini with just the Text Form can also bring you some good results, but it ha > its flaws that you can work around a bit but not really :) > The good stuff is not free.

If I ever start my own project, beyond just trying to get something to compile with newer libraries and compilers, I will certainly need to do that. * SLMR 2.1a * Maybe I should cut the power before I-- ZZZAAPPOWWWWWW --- Synchronet CAPCITY2 * Capitol City Online ----------------------------------------------------------- [Voltar]
