Author here.

I just got access to OpenAI codex. I used edit function and asked it to modify the JS hello world, to add typescript annotations.

This is the git commit following that gpt conversation :)

    -export async function onRequest(context) {
    +export async function onRequest(context: {
    +  request: Request;
    +  env: { [key: string]: string };
    +  params: { [key: string]: string };
    +  waitUntil: (promise: Promise<any>) => void;
    +  next: () => Promise<void>;
    +  data: { [key: string]: any };
    +}) {

Not as minimal as the code I posted, but it got me over the stumbling block.

lol, I was 50% sure that you were being sarcastic about using GPT-3, hehe

But if anyone is edgy enough to use AI as a shortcut, I guess it would be the guy who did telemetry ingestion on a t2.micro :D

Regards Jonas,

GitHub Copilot is GPT-3 under the hood, so maybe that way?

I use copilot, but not for this. I find raw gpt-3 conversational interface to be much more useful for getting over various small programming puzzles.

Prompted correctly, I find that Copilot can do pretty much everything GPT-3 can except generating long-form prose.

You're probably right that it's more flexible, but then again I don't want to constantly switch out of IDEA.

I think we need work in conversational interfaces into IDEs. Tab-completion is insufficient
