@stevelinz said in GAME CHANGE: A good practice is to zip up your project periodically, A better practice is to not rely on AI. I admit that the pull is strong, but resist and learn how to actually write your own code. I've been coding for over 45 years. That's right - when I started, I had to find a book that described the language I was using, and had to gleen knowledge without even having the luxury of example code. I think programmers have it way too easy nowadays. (I had to code uphill - BOTH WAYS! - when I was your age.) :) I tried AI a few times, and in the process of tailoring my prompt, I found that the AI becomes highly sycophantic, essentially claiming that I'm brilliant because I was able to craft an "awesome" prompt. I tried it yesterday, and told it what I was using (React v19 with typescript), and I actually had to tell it to maintain as much type safety as possible. Even so, if wouldn't give me const functions until I told it to, despite the fact that pretty much everyone that uses typescript in React uses const functions. I haven't looked at the code it churned out yet, because it was just a test to see how it would do, and I already have a solution that I wrote myself. I certainly wouldn't have it write an entire application.

So ultimately just hidden advertising?

def main(file_ofu, file_abuo, output_file): # Step 1: Load FileAbuo into a set (fast lookups) with open(file_abuo, 'r') as f2: abuo_set = set(line.strip() for line in f2 if line.strip()) # Step 2: Process FileOfu line by line and keep only unique ones with open(file_ofu, 'r') as f1, open(output_file, 'w') as out: for line in f1: clean_line = line.strip() if clean_line and clean_line not in abuo_set: out.write(clean_line + '\n') if name == "main": main("FileOfu.txt", "FileAbuo.txt", "Output.txt") try this https://www.instagram.com/aniket_p_vitkar/

Oh yeah, it's here! :thumbsup: The other day I was testing one of our APIs that returns XML. One of the attributes is a day count which in many cases is legitimately a 0. The AI Copilot in Edge noticed this and helpfully said something like 'It looks like you are viewing a code snippet...then analyzing the content and making suggestions about day counts being 0 and such. :wtf: Thankfully, there is a way to ignore it and continue. Your experience though seems pretty impressive especially if you indeed prefer chocolate. :thumbsup: "Go forth into the source" - Neal Morse "Hope is contagious"

v1 - CodeProject[^] M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

It wouldn't work that way because you still have to read the text left to right, top to bottom. There's probably some reason for it, but I don't know. Curiously, it's the same format as the SSD1306 monochrome OLED display's framebuffer.
