How about coding? C# & Javascript?

How about coding? C# & Javascript?

GitHub Copilot should be the leading choice for both C# and JavaScript. You can pair it with DeepCode or Windsurf Editor for C#. Tabnine or Codeium would be great options for JavaScript.

been using this + chatgptPLUS + supergrok for a week or just under a week
or something inbetween idk, days are blurry when you dont care about the day.
anyways
I can confidently say
they help sure do help
ChatGPT is way too fucking confident, little cunt has a bigger ego than me & Z combined
cunt makes alot of mistakes but at the same time do fixes them eventually.

Copilot
well, its microsoft, its great, much easier integration as it's embedded directly in VS so it's easier to cross reference than the other tools.
It also makes mistakes, but it doesn't have an ego. It also doesn't like seeing that it's wrong and loves to spew the some shit over and over during debugging.

SuperGrok
well, this is the friend you have, that wont shut the fuck up
you ask it what 1+1 it, it will spew out a 5000 word essay on why 1+1 is 2 and why it is 2.
like bitch please, i dont care. i just want to know the result.
HOWEVER, on the bright side, its reasoning is pretty damn good and it does help you learn if you are still on that learning curve.

During debugging, i had to switch between o4, o3, copilot & supergrok
some codes o4 will figure out while o3 will confidently say they fix it but break it even further.
while copilot and supergrok will rearrange the code and call it a day and vice versa.

the only 1 solution fits all is your geeky dev friend who you can bother 24/7 because he is a virgin and has no gf

So
Yesterday, I was having some annoying as bug with my code
For the fucking love of god, I couldn't figure it out at all.
I ran it thru chatGPT-o4 & 03 AND o4-high-mini
then i ran it thru supergrok
then copilot
all 3 of these started asking me to optimize my code
literally just moving blocks of codes around.
After 2 hours battling with these 3 stooges, i went thru my code again and was like
THERE NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS SHIT
out of desperation, i turned to Google's Gemini 2.5 pro

ON THE VERY FIRST REPLY

This little shit man, talk about something so obvious
Out of desperation high on copium, I went back to re-check the code
I NOTICED, i didn't migrate all the code properly from the old prepsave system using SkillName to encrypted JSON SkillID
and that was fucking up the saving & encryption process.

Gotta give props where it's deserved.
