Ai is dependent on the person knowing what is wanted. That is 90% of the battle sometimes.
Thank the Lord I read the article, I thought TypeScript was a font….. 😂 which I could not find for Word….
If it doesn’t involve solder, it’s not a REAL programming language.
It’s also very important to know which languages/platforms are best trained on AI, and also make sure to include the latest version documentation in the context.
AI, not even smart enough to convert JavaScript to TypeScript, apparently.
Why not just have AI check the less verbose JavaScript?
PAING!..............
There is a joke: Ask 10 JavaScript devs a question, you get 11 answers. JavaScript is the greatest and worst language ever created. It’s easy to use as long as you can find help by someone who does it EXACTLY like you code.
Angular dumped JavaScript for TypeScript with Angular 2. React has more recently come over to the Typed side and now has React TS. TypeScript is also much easier for C# devs to understand so building full-stack devs is a lot easier now.
And TypeScript is still only the shell of AI, the prompt window. That can be done by many other languages. You want Python and C++ for a deeper understanding of AI.
That long dash in there makes me think that the post may have been written by AI.
It's worked out so well since we no longer need to learn basic arithmetic...
Typescript is wonderful. It’s elevated JS to a serious language capable of building complex UI applications. Angular - the best UI framework of all , wouldn’t be possible without it.
I program my ignition controller in assembler, for a 9s12 processor. I was trying to add a few lines of code to extend a noise blank pulse.
I spent three days trying to get it to work, then finally gave up and asked google ai for help, describing my results. It replied “that is a known issue when using TC7 to control another timer channel.”
It then gave a few workarounds, which I tried, to no avail. At one point it was giving me wrong answers, that I knew were wrong. I noticed a box under their reply that said “ask me anything”, so I said ‘YOU ARE WRONG, blah blah (giving my reasons)”. I was very surprised when it corrected itself and apologized.
I final got it working, though there is a 500ns glitch, but my noise blank transistor doesn’t even notice it.
I do basic simple html/css code to make simple webpages and it is a chore for me to figure things out so I use AI to help which has helped out quite a bit but.... it also can come back with the wrong answer so I have to do other searches for answers and playing around with the code to make the page display correctly. The program languages the writer describes may as well be Greek with cuneiform and Phoenician thrown in.
I use OpenAI GPT 4.1 in a program called HTMLPad 2025 and google website where you type your question and then click on AI mode.
Article: 180+ million developers
Did they use an AI search to come up with that number?
