I've just started playing with aider this week, and I find it extremely fun and exciting. But I will say that I've had middling results with an Elixir / Phoenix app. I don't think this has anything to do with aider - rather, I think that the GPT models haven't quite internalized the new approaches in Phoenix 1.7, since up until Turbo their training data was fairly old and probably still contains more pre 1.7 Phoenix examples than post 1.7.

In spite of these frustrations, I have had some genuinely amazing moments coding with GPT-4 lately though. I upgraded to ChatGPT plus lately and it's just mindblowing how helpful it can be in the right contexts. I'm hoping that as I get better with aider I might just drop the ChatGPT sub and stick to API usage.

I totally understand the skepticism many have, because this stuff is still a bit finicky - but I'm overwhelmed by a sense of how fucking _cool_ this stuff is quite often.
