Not only that, but there are states in the U.S. that are still relatively safe compared to the rest. Massachusetts, Vermont, Rhode Island… isn’t it easier to move there than to flee?

You’re* right.

Who downvotes you for saying thanks?

No worries! Sorry, I was thinking of Cursor, not Codex. It essentially opens a side panel inside VS Code from which you can interact with your LLM. I haven’t tried it myself, but I have tried Gemini Code Assist and Claude Code.

They’ll modify the code for you. Some people are riskier than me and will let them go wild. I, on the other hand make them write a development plan beforehand and I review it. If everything looks good, then I’ll give the go-ahead.

But I digress. I wouldn’t mind manually applying the changes and copy/paste back and forth. That’s how I did it previously anyway.

And I get it. I also have decades coding (since the 80s!), and I resisted for many months the idea of using AI to assist me with something that I enjoy doing most of the time.

Thank you so much! This is such great information. I know I could look it up online, but I appreciate your insights. I’ll give this a try and see how that goes.

I promised you that was the last question, but I still have one more. Sorry…! Does your LLM modify your code by itself? What do you use for this? Codex or something? (I’m not a total noob in this field, but I certainly don’t have enough experience.)

I’m not even talking about “immigrants.” I’m talking about invaders.

Fantastic answer!

Yeah, 5 to 10 minutes is still a lot faster than the time it would take me to do the same thing. Minus the mental and physical wear. And for free? Even better!

One last question, if you don’t mind. Did you grab a model that already knew how to deal with GDScript or did you apply the learning trick you mentioned to it? (e.g. “read this, read that, update your knowledge, be ready to rock and roll”)

Wow, nice! How fast (or slow) is it compared to the big players?

What would be an example task you give to it, and how long does it take to produce an answer?

Which is stupid because their ancestors aren’t from this land. And millions of “not-whites” were forced to come here! Not that they will ever understand that.
