Getting Started with Dwarf Fortress exists which I still find hilarious.

I need to buy this book!
Though since it's over a decade old, it will most likely be only a decoration.
Then again, most mechanics didn't change much.
With the Steam release of the game with the full GUI I have no idea how relevant it is now lol.
If it describes low level mechanics, it's still as relevant as ever.
GUI is nice, but the game is still too complex for any user interface, and understanding it visually may not always be easy.
Aw man, its a custom design.
I'd love the classic animal template but with a kea holding a steppladder.
Finally an up to date edition! I'm still using the old book, Copying and Pasting from StackOverflow
Hey! Why don't you try to build a basic github action from scratch and deploy it 40 times before it's green, waiting 10 minutes between builds to discover how each task creatively interprets directory path notation!
This is so true, I use copilot for things like actions and dockerfiles so I don't feel an urge to bash my brains out more than I use it for code gen
Get out of my head! Out I say!
You'd think there'd be a better way of testing CI configs locally, like using selfhosted runners, but no, they need me to push changes to origin so that GitHub can then trigger the job on my local docker host. At least CircleCI gave us CLI to validate and partly run jobs from config files locally, ... but only partly.
I wonder if someone has already created a bot that asks chat-GPT to create a piece of code, grabs it to try and run it, and then just goes back and forth with chat-GPT to fix the errors. Now the code would probably be a complete mess, but I wonder if non-coders could use it to create helpful one-off tools they can't find anywhere else.
It definitely exists - there's something that goes:
- generates code
- feed code back in and ask ChatGPT if it has any bugs (yes/no answer)
- if
no, done, otherwise feed code back in and ask ChatGPT to fix it - goto step 2
I can't find the link now, but you might also be interested in Auto-GPT.
Oh wow! That looks awesome! I'll definitely have to star that.
