• Me: Explain what `rustc --diagnostic-format=limerick` does. ChatGPT: rustc --diagnostic-format=limerick is a command line flag for the Rust compiler (rustc) that changes the format of the error messages and warnings it produces to be in the form of a limerick. This means that the messages will be written in a five-line rhyming poem with a specific syllable count for each line. This can make the messages more entertaining and easier to remember, but may not provide as much detailed information as the default format. Me: Give an example. ChatGPT: Here is an example of an error message in the limerick format: A variable called "x" you declared, But its type was not properly clarified, The compiler it cried, "You must specify!" Or your code will not be verified. (remote)

I somehow managed to run "git stash" without realizing it. Freaked me out for a moment when "git status" showed no pending changes

"Where are all my changes?" he thought to himself with a growing sense of panic.

See? This wouldn't happen with svn.

(I kid. I kid. I'm a happy user of git in the sense of being resigned to the fact that I must use it. (Also, it's possible it is too late on a Friday to be attempting complex "git rebase" shenanigans.))

Do people realize that #OpenAI (makers of #GPT3, #ChatGPT, #DallE2) was co-founded by Elon Musk and funded by Peter Thiel et al.? It seems like we should be talking about this more.

Have you ever tried to help a non-programmer add "just a button" to their website?

"No, that runs on the server, you need client. No, every quote and semicolon is important. Well, there are events, and closures, and scopes… How did you find that deprecated Netscape API!? It doesn't work now, because it's cached…, and this regex, ooof…"

Programming requires so many details, it may seem like designed to be hard out of spite. #chatgpt could empower so many people.

I wouldn't be surprised if #GPT-like personal assistants became as commonplace as smartphones.

They're already more useful than Google for questions.

Can help with writing by brainstorming and filling in fluff.

They can be a command-line interface for non-nerds. Personal assistant for Excel, db queries, file management tasks, software configuration (except printers, they're possessed and can't be helped.)
