I genuinely think code snippets as a "thing" is going to die. I just wrote a web scrapper while knowing absolutely nothing about the language or the syntax of the library by just asking GPT and feeding back the errors the interpreter was throwing back. FWIW, I was writing a scrapper to compile all PG essays into a txt file to train GPT. I still don't know the syntax of Beautiful soup or the nuances of Python. But I got a working snippet which I can use for training nanogpt based on Karpathy's videos.
