@simon Iโve been pretty skeptical of LLMs and have used them very little for my own work as a programmer. But lately your output, and the steady decline of Web search engines, has me thinking itโs time to give them a real try to help me with my programming.
I think I understand the basics like models, prompts, etc. But Iโm unsure how to get started with the mechanics of it all. So Iโm curious: do you use any LLM integrations in your code editors? Or do you mostly copy and paste to and from your llm CLI? Or a Web chat UI?
Iโm thinking my starting use case is: I have a file open in my editor in a language with which Iโm either a beginner or rusty, like C# or even SQL. And I want to ask a question about how to do something specific in the context of the code I have.
For example if Iโm working on a sophisticated DB migration in SQL, and I canโt remember the syntax for creating a variable and storing an ID in it. How would *you* ask that question today? I mean mechanically, what steps would you take?
Thank you in advance!
