When Dartmouth College launched the Basic language 50 years ago, it enabled ordinary users to write code. Millions did. But we've gone backwards since then, and most users now seem unable or unwilling to create so much as a simple macro
Software dev myself (retired) and I’ve been very skeptical about AI generated code, but a friend of mine uses it daily in his work. During one of our in-person D&D games he told it to create a SQL Lite app to keep track of some game info, and in seconds he was using the app. AI is currently a super-emotional issue riddled with misinformation and fantasy, but there’s no denying its usefulness.
I am no stranger as I am using it myself for python code. My personal experience has been that It can generate a good CRUD API (web server with create/read/update/delete using REST API) using flask framework when I describe the tutorial blog example from the Flask documentation.
But my wife is working with Microsoft powerapps and that thing annihilates ChatGPT.
Edit: My point is, it’s only good if the documentation is good. Which we all know is not universally true. Especially for things akin to Microsoft Powerapps.
