Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

This is just Advanced Intellisence, something Visual Studio already supports. And again - that's totally fine. I appreciate an occasional "Did you realize you don't actually use that declared variable anywhere? Here, let me make that code more legible for you." coding assist.
But you're not getting an end-to-end automation of a Full Stack Development job and it was crazy to think you would.
Note that I would imagine it as a bit more, like recognizing a pattern where you are going to want to iterate over some iterable and do something super common, I could see an LLM managing to do that better than something like current code completion solutions can. Could also extend it in ways not normally feasible. For example, use something like golang and the IDE can do crazy amounts of completion because so much is specified. In a more loose scenario like javascript or python, the traditional approach can do... some, but a lot more gaps appear since things are too open ended for those approaches to work.
The thing I cited was like a 12 line function that I figured it would get right. But it failed and hallucinated. I had to resort to like result 7 or 8 in an internet search before someone offered a correct solution, so it's still matching my LLM experience so far, not any better than blindly clicking the first search result and hoping for the best. It can handle some token swap out compared to a traditional copy/paste, but ultimately you are best served by finding the most well maintained library to offload if it's not something you really need to write yourself.
