What languages you learnt

Would it be wrong for me to put others code in ChatGPT? I did this for a cloth verlet integration & physics simulation to have each line explained

@@catharsis222 it's good and bad. If you are a complete beginner it could push you in the wrong direction. But if you have some basics down you can filter out the hallucinations

Thanks for sharing. Yeah same struggle here. Another method is to ask ChatGPT to create a sample project for you to begin with.

@@TravisMedia I'll try that as well. Stay blessed 🙌

True. I know the feeling. But you already know the scratch though. 😁

I thought I was the only one who had that feeling.

Ahh that would be a nice contribution and a great idea. If you do it, update me here.

Yeah a friend gave me a harness and a lead for my cat… only ever used once, though. I think she’s too old to get into it now.

That works too

Create react app was removed from the docs as the official way of setting up a project. Many are now using Vite instead. Here’s a read on it dev.to/ag2byte/create-react-app-is-officially-dead-h7o#:~:text=React%20developer%20team%20recently%20removed,react%2Dapp%20is%20finally%20gone. As stated in the article comments, for production apps, may want to consider Next.js

@@TravisMedia Thanks Travis. Much appreciated 👍

Hmmm. Millions of programmers use it but you. You sir are special and it would not be suitable for you. Why do people ask questions they can Google or ask an ai?

I’m guessing English may not be your first language, and the previous comment was pretty unhelpful (why do people take the time to respond if they’re not going to say anything useful?). Anyway, I think that your concern is more to do with running arbitrary code (that you don’t fully understand) on your machine than it is with git or GitHub themselves. In general, it’s not something that’s a common attack vector, but hypothetically for example if you run backend code on your system that is insecure for some reason and opens ports to the outside world, there could be some level of risk… it’s good to have a defensive mindset as a programmer. If you find some obscure project on GitHub and clone it, it’s highly unlikely to be dangerous in any way, but you could always set up a VM for this stuff so that the rest of your data was sandboxed; probably not a bad practice.

@@xinaesthetic thanks

What are you saying? Are you critiquing Travis or something he describes? I cannot decipher the meaning of your post.

He's not saying that you should just slightly edit other people's code and move. What he's saying us that instead of wasting time on nitty gritty details of things that aren't even the main purpose of your project, use someone else's code as a starting point and read through it. Let's say I wanted to create a project with webrtc and simultaneous writes in my mind and I spent two weeks doing react and front end and eventually burnt out and left. I wouldn't be able to learn the skill I started out to learn. So, it's better to just get into what I want as soon as possible. It also will give you the skill of understanding other people's code much better. It's very solid advice for newcomers.
