#codium — Public Fediverse posts

I have been writing some #code for a #Moodle plugin using the #Cody plugin for #Vscode and #Codium.

I find it very helpful. It will create boilerplate code in seconds that would take me multiple minutes to create. It is mostly the right code and sometimes it phrases things slightly better than I would have done.

I sometimes hear AI described as sophisticated autocomplete, which it turns out is something I find very helpful.

I have been using the #cody plugin with #VSCode and #Codium IDE’s for a while now

For my #Moodle development
I have found it very, useful. A Typical scenario is that I start to type in a command and it offers me the possibility of a completion. Sometimes it is exactly what I want, frequently it is close and I tweak it.
However the ultimate #Moodle specific development tool is

@rafetoots This thread made me think: besides learning a programming language in depth, I wonder about your knowledge of version control (#git, #github), editors/IDE's (#codium), operating systems (#windows, #linux, #wsl), embedded (#arduino, #pi), hardware (#kicad, #freecad), processor design (#fpga, #vlsi, https://www.nand2tetris.org/ maybe), sub-atomic-physics (joking), and so much more!

It's often the ancillary stuff, or foundational stuff that gets in the way of learning programming.

AI Generated Moodle Code

I have been working on a plugin to add #AI Assisted feedback to the #Moodle #assignment module. I had the skeleton and created a textarea for adding the prompt.

I was about to create an upload dialog for files with a prompt when I thought, perhaps an #AI, #LLM could to do that using the Continue plugin for #Codium (#VSCode without the telemetry). It turns out you can, as illustrated in the attached animation. It is using #Llama3 via Groq.
