The #1 thing Ive used AI for is commenting my code. It is pretty good at following my format and generating code documentation, based on my existing code.
It’s also really good at helping me think of a good name for something, if there’s a specific word on the tip of my tongue. “Whats the word for when you do the thing with the thingy?” “It sounds like you are looking for (word)”
Also its really good for helping me find the name of specific algorithms for use cases.
“Is there a known algorithm I can look up that can fenangle a dinger?”
“You might be looking for the Ferg Dergeson Flemming algorithm, which is a popular way to fenangle dingers”
Then Ill look it up and it is, indeed, like the best way to fenangle a dinger and I’m like “well holy shit, this is a solved problem turns out, I shoulda known”
I’ve been looking for th8s for awhile too.
Not a locally run tool, but a self hosted web app (that I wire up to my self hosted db) that has a web portal I login to, and then can manage my db with a nice slick UI to define tables, relations, etc.
There’s been some I’ve found but they vastly lacked basic features and were clearly in very early beta.
