Therefore, in this article I’ll cover how to catapult your productivity to the heavens via a series of command line wrapper functions around the OpenAI API.<\/p>

I think the real differentiator in the coming months\/years will be developer productivity. Good, bad or indifferent there seems to a be an unavoidable advantage to those who aggressively adopt workflows that lean into AI versus fighting, or ignoring, it. I think there is an oncoming paradigm of rapid prototyping combined with simulation that will help to isolate and test various components of a project. Additionally, the ability for translating languages and developer productivity in new languages.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

[Google Codey is available] through extensions in all major IDEs. \nExcept of course xcode.\nBecause Apple protected us from a rogue plugin by killing plugins.<\/p>

(yes - technically extensions are still a thing, but they’re so limited they might as well not be)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

Xcode source editor extensions are not at the same level, but there is one for Copilot. Christian Tietze<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

Just yesterday, I used the Copilot Xcode plugin<\/a> to write a lot of boilerplate for me. I can confirm it does its job.<\/p>\n

I used it to help me write a unit test spy<\/a> for an umbrella repository, or façade, that conforms to 5 protocols. In my human mind, there was rhythm and similarity, but code completion can’t help there.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

And there are a variety of tools that give you a text box outside of Xcode:<\/p>\n\n

Federico Viticci<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

At a high level, S-GPT is a shortcut that lets you ask ChatGPT questions from an input box on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac; answers are returned by ChatGPT and displayed in an alert on your devices. You can ask whatever you want, wait a couple of seconds, and get a response back from the assistant. S-GPT only supports text, and there are no limits in terms of question length.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

QuickGPT<\/a> (Mastodon<\/a>):<\/p>\n

\n

Easily access ChatGPT from the menu bar, Dock, or using a keyboard shortcut.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Short Circuit works on on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Now you can have a premium ChatGPT experience no matter where you are or what you’re doing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
