What you're talking about is trivially within reach of GPT: Automatic programmer: GPT-4 powered Github Issue solving with Pull Requests Project I've created a tool that reads Github Issues and creates a Pull Request to complete it. It uses GPT-4, of course. There are a bunch of reasoning steps the tool does, but it can be much, much better with better steps and prompting. It's just a Proof of Concept. I haven't even added Langchain, yet. https://www.reddit.com/r/OpenAI/comments/11upow0/automatic_p... And here's another: https://github.com/irgolic/AutoPR You can keep shifting the goalposts if you want - "but the code will be buggy", "but it can only do simple stuff, doesn't understand the broader systems architecture" - but all indications are that, on a plug-and-play level, GPT is able, to at least some extent, to do what non-techies thi

nk of as "programming". It seems you are also underestimating what non-technical managers can do. Yes, some are utter dunces and technophobes. But most are not and can run basic shell scripts and even know what "files" are.
In Developer Jobs Are Safe
Hey everyone! I wanted to share with you a new GitHub Action I've developed that uses GPT-4 to automatically generate code based on issues in your repo and opens pull requests for those changes. You can find my solution here: https://github.com/irgolic/AutoPR/ Here's a quick summary of the features my GitHub Action offers: - Automatically generates code based on issues in your repo. - Opens PRs for the generated code, making it easy to review and merge changes. By using this GitHub Action, you can skip the manual steps of prompt design, and let the AI handle code generation and PR creation for you. Here's how I used AutoPR to make the license for itself: https://github.com/irgolic/AutoPR/pull/4 Feel free to give it a try, and I would love to hear your feedback! It's still in alpha and it works for straightforward tasks, but I have a plan

to scale it up. Let's see how far we can push GPT-4 and create a more efficient development process together. Happy coding!
In AutoPR: GitHub Action that automatically creates pull requests from issues
So I have been toying with an AutoPR GitHub Action for a bit but seeing this spurred me to actually put it into a format for y'all to try. It uses GPT-4 to automatically generate code based on issues in your repo and opens pull requests for those changes. https://github.com/irgolic/AutoPR/ What AutoPR can do: - Automatically generates code based on issues in your repo. - Opens PRs for the generated code, making it easy to review and merge changes.

Here's how I used it to make the license for itself: https://github.com/mpoon/gpt-repository-loader/issues/23 Feel free to give it a try, and I would love to hear your feedback!
