Person who does stuff with Data / AI / Tech / Music. Currently on an employment hibernation.

Hoping to scroll through content on LLM-assisted development, Ableton production, and more whilst somehow not looking at endless AI slop article images 🙏
Ah nice! I haven’t seen what the current state of Copilot is, but with both Zed and Cursor being able to include your whole directory in the prompt is wild. Combined with multi-shot edits across all files, it’s so useful.

I have a ChatGPT Pro sub, so used all their offerings with Zed, as well as Llama3.2 on device (v snappy and good).

Cursor I’ve mainly stuck to Claude Sonnet 3.5 as this is the one I don’t have access to off-editor, and it’s seriously good.

Have you tried either, or anything else like supermaven?

Specifically Zed + Cursor are both amazing.

For context, I went from very rudimentary JS to a Vite+Vue stack which auths into spotify and shows metadata on currently playing track in about a day of light coding and prompting. Still very rough, but still mind-blowing for me.

I'll keep replying here as I progress. I think the first thing which is worth sharing is how amazing AI development is getting. I used to be a religious Github Copilot (in VSCode) user at work, but having done a lot more management recently I'd not kept up to date with advances elsewhere...

... Okay that works. Right, so as I was saying: new / adjacent skills only:

- Javascript yes, python data analysis no
- Ableton music production yes, making slide decks no.
- etc.

Sidenote: you can't edit posts. Good to know.

Okay question one: do you make a thread by replying multiple times to the same post, or by replying to the replies. Let's test... is this thing on etc.

First off, my actual skills are in data science, technical architecture which I've used on a bunch of projects (gov, health, humanitarian). I won't go into this too much, but it's relevant here because it's skills I've neglected or haven't needed to build my career which I'll be focusing on...

Strong list! Saves me some time I can just like this for 70% of it and do some googling for the rest, thanks :)
