I tried out opencommit — pretty useful hypothetically. I'm not sure it immediately handles my "edge cases" enough to be a real daily tool, but I bet I'll be using something like this soon.

Yeah, feeding AI your company's private code - what can possibly go wrong here? ;)

But it is creating very long messages, which in turn can be confusing.

ChatGPT -- still new to me.

Also, I hope people discover Twigflo.com <-- that's my productivity tool which incorporates GPT4 behind the scenes.

Twigflo looks really interesting!

Can you speak to the GPT use behind the scenes?

Thanks Ben -- yes, we were wowed by GPT back in December and right away extended Twigflo to automatically suggest work task breakdowns as you create what we call a "mission diagram"

Cool, that makes sense. If you have GPT active in the stack I imagine there are future ways to leverage it as you build.

I bet people would be interested in following along with this, so I'd definitely recommend getting started with the org account I see you created 😅

This is the area of GPT and IA.

Perplexity AI is a good source to know more with a question.

I've (re)discovered simple pen-and-paper for writing down my thoughts and findings during intense debugging sessions. For me, its simple and it works and I can always revisit it when I'm feeling down to remind me of the good work I've done

I know here might not be the appropriate medium to dispense this message but then I couldn’t find any appropriate email.

I am writing to apply for the Technical Writer position at your company. I am impressed with your mission to empower software engineers to build high-performance, secure, and reliable software quickly, and I appreciate Five's product philosophy that is made by developers for developers.

As a technical writer, I am skilled in communicating complex technical information in a clear and concise manner that is easy to understand by different audiences.

I believe my expertise in technical writing and my understanding of software development can be an asset to Five.

Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to discussing my qualifications further.

My answer is always Checkvist because it's the most under hyped project I use a lot, it's not well known but it's awesome.

They present Checkvist as Keyboard-driven list making and Maximum efficiency and control over tasks, outlines, to-dos, writing, and planning
I tend to say that it's like a mindmap, but ugly and efficient.

It's a side project from two JetBrains people, that's how I got to know it, and it get that IntelliJ feeling, that's probably why it clicked for me.

Using Checkvist is usually the first step of anything I do, for example I thought about learning some part of datascience so I wanted to collect all the information in one place
-> Hence 🤔 Data Science? High level overview

I tried Centered a while ago but couldn't get into it. I revisited the app a couple weeks ago and it's been super helpful to keep me in my flow. I guess second time's a charm.

I'm part of Freakin' Nerds that @cassidoo started on Centered if anyone else wants to join there.

Here's a 14-day pro trial signup link for anyone interested.

I've been using Poe as a UI layer on top of ChatGPT and other AI chats. It has a native iOS app, which is really helpful.
