  • I switched from Windows 10 pro to Linux three months ago. I should have done it sooner. The experience so far has been positive.

    But to be honest, I haven’t tried some applications I bought years ago for Windows (I guess I’ll use Wine or Proton for them.) I hope they are usable, but even if they won’t be, I won’t have any regrets about my decision.

    Windows was a constant battle against enshittification. I was getting tired of it. I might do something similar with Android this year.








  • No worries! Sorry, I was thinking of Cursor, not Codex. It essentially opens a side panel inside VS Code from which you can interact with your LLM. I haven’t tried it myself, but I have tried Gemini Code Assist and Claude Code.

    They’ll modify the code for you. Some people are riskier than me and will let them go wild. I, on the other hand make them write a development plan beforehand and I review it. If everything looks good, then I’ll give the go-ahead.

    But I digress. I wouldn’t mind manually applying the changes and copy/paste back and forth. That’s how I did it previously anyway.

    And I get it. I also have decades coding (since the 80s!), and I resisted for many months the idea of using AI to assist me with something that I enjoy doing most of the time.



  • Thank you so much! This is such great information. I know I could look it up online, but I appreciate your insights. I’ll give this a try and see how that goes.

    I promised you that was the last question, but I still have one more. Sorry…! Does your LLM modify your code by itself? What do you use for this? Codex or something? (I’m not a total noob in this field, but I certainly don’t have enough experience.)



  • Fantastic answer, thanks!

    Yeah, 5 to 10 minutes is still a lot faster than the time it would take me to do the same thing. Minus the mental and physical wear. And for free? Even better!

    One last question, if you don’t mind. Did you grab a model that already knew how to deal with GDScript or did you apply the learning trick you mentioned to it? (e.g. “read this, read that, update your knowledge, be ready to rock and roll”)
