BBS: TELESC.NET.BR Assunto: Using AI for coding De: Hm Derdoc Data: Tue, 24 Mar 2026 00:02:13 -0700 ----------------------------------------------------------- i'm late to the game on this post, but yeah, I've been using it for the past year or so almost constantly. i've changed the flow a few times but it's getting smoother and i usually can push things through to the end, i mostly use it as a hyperlazy version of myself, and i'm already hyperlazy, so it's recursive, i guess to its detriment, although things have gotten more efficient over time and less sloppy, perhaps i can be so eloquent as to describe my experience in a forum post maybe a year ago i was using ChatGPT to write Apple Watch apps, it didn't do a great job - it kept trying to invent API's that didn't exist and was hallucinating things that would only work on iPhone; I did finish my projects but it was fortunate that I read all of the documentation on the SDK's and API's beforehand, and figured a way out of the loop. now i'm mostly just writing insane bbs stuff for synchronet. but i also used to write synchronet stuff by hand, so I also know what libraries and stuff to use, so I have pretty good luck if you've caught wind of my releases. I'm generally running Claude Opus 4.6 generally now because it doesn't seem to mess up. I know there are some things I did to make projects more efficient and maintainable for Synchronet in addition to just AI getting majorly better in just the last 6 months. I did write a few just in javascript with AI help and they became harder to deal with once they became larger - but I started using typescript and treating synchronet's spidermonkey layer as a target for distribution, this makes the projects infinitely more maintainable and faster to develop with AI. Also most AI's can have some sort of directive file they attempt to follow religiously, for instance using github copilot I make a .github/copilot-instructions.md file telling it to look at official synchronet repos, libraries, wikis, and how to maintain clean code and not reinvent the wheel. Make one so it knows how to develop for your obscure platform, and if you understand the document yourself as it's vibe coding companion there may be a chance of success. RTFM is still helpful, if you want to save money on tokens. Cost wise, I pay about $40 copilot-pro a month, although I often go over, but I'll use it like 10-12 hours a day for last 6 months not being very judicious about when to use Opus (3x cost) and when not to. I also still have a 20 Chat GPT subscription which I sort of want to kill on principle but actually Codex isn't terrible in VSCode either. Sometimes I'll run copilot and codex in the same repository and make sure they don't step on each others toes. I think they upped Codex usage while improving its quality too because I've never hit a usage wall this month. I am hoping to not use or pay these things so much in the future but for now pressing towards the finish line of making my bbs the most insane it can be. I sort of wish I could something that was as good as Claude Opus on my personal computer, but I guess wait a couple years.
