What I have heard from little birdies in Cupertino is not that there was a miss on this already .... The anxiety inside Apple is that many people inside do not believe Apple’s own AI/ML team can deliver, and that the company — if only for privacy reasons — is only going to use what comes from their own AI/ML team.
Any time you ask ChatGPT a technical question on something you're not familiar with it should be three parts: 1- What are the considerations?; 2- Implement it with the considerations; 3- Did we forget anything?
React on the other hand feels like a pot warming up and we're the frogs being boiled alive at this point. You can write some perfectly valid, but naive React code and it's going to have some footguns. We're so used to write idiomatic React code we don't even notice that anymore. You learn to use stable references in callback functions, to be careful using Context, and so on. But the list is not short, and it only grows. --jankiel
I have lived so long in the shadow of this dream that I may never see the bright sunlight of reality. I may look up some morning and find that I am six feet under, and that Gatsby, who gave me the dream and everything else, will have vanished behind me. And so it was. I had hardly crossed the threshold of the old world when my eye caught the headlines of a newspaper; and I knew at once that my dream was over. I knew that Gatsby was dead ....
Speaking only for myself, I get orders of magnitude more value from [GitHub Copilot] than the $10/month it costs. How? Copilot (often used in conjunction with GPT, and now, Bard) has reduced the activation energy for the small scripty projects I want to undertake from being just slightly over a weekend (which meant they would get abandoned or not even started) to fitting comfortably within a weekend. And that has made a world of difference, at least for me. I suspect the same story will play out across programmers in general, where it will serve to lower the friction and frustration of programming just enough to increase their overall output.
With the exception of professional rationalists, people today despair of true knowledge.
