stack-overflow-import VS splitter

Seven years after the StackOverflow Importer [1], I thought it was time to build an updated version using ChatGPT.

> time series forecasting using this tool.

Interesting. IME even for toy problems it generally spits out code which fails to do what I requested some of the time or at all. Using this tool to solve a problem requires not only that I understand what it spits out but also that I understand how to actually solve the problem, so that I can iterate on the rubbish it spits out.

It doesn't seem frightening or particularly transformative; I'm not even convinced that using it could save more time than not. It's not doing anything radically different to https://github.com/drathier/stack-overflow-import and the latter works better.

I welcome evil players attempting to use it: their evil plans will self-destruct in hilarious ways.

You can cut out the middleman with this python project.

We've been building devtools for years now. We're really passionate about the field. The most recent thing we built is https://usedevbook.com. The goal was to build a simple framework/UI for companies to demo their APIs. Something like https://gradio.app but for API companies. It's been used for example by Prisma - we helped them build their playground with it - https://playground.prisma.io/

Our new project - e2b - is using some of the technology we built for Devbook in the past. Specifically the secure sandbox environments where the AI agents run are our custom Firecracker VMs that we run on Nomad.

You can follow my co-founder, me, and the project on Twitter:

And we have a community Discord server - https://discord.gg/U7KEcGErtQ

Hey, thanks! Not the whole website but parts of it like our SDK for creating VMs on demand and some UI components are open sourced.

we've built this interactive playground of Prisma examples as a showcase of developer hubs made with Devbook. The goal of Devbook si to allow devtools projects and companies to showcase their tool in an interactive without any hassle for the devs. Everything is prepared and configured for you.

Every code snippet is runnable and editable. You get your own database thanks to CockroachDB. The code runs in a microVM (Firecracker) that's just for you. You also have an access to the terminal and even Prisma Studio. Go ahead and play with it!

I would love to hear your feedback and I'm happy to hang out and answer any questions!

This is really really exciting! I hope it enables more product built on top of full VMs with fast UX/DX.

I just wish I knew about this earlier because from what I read, I think we at Devbook [1] built pretty similar service for our product. We are using Docker to "describe" the VM's environment, our booting times are in the similar numbers, we are using Nomad for orchestration, and we are also using Firecracker :). We basically built are own serverless platform. I need to compare our current pricing to Fly's.

I found DevBook which is quite useful. It doesn't solve the searching issue but it cuts down on the results you get back. Not sure if it'd be useful for you or anyone scouring the comments

Not trying to undermine op here but I've recently been using a tool called Devbooks and it's really cool. It's not a vscode extension though. It lets you search stack overflow and almost any language's/library's documentation without leaving your current window.

I recommend creating a new email account solely dedicated to your journey into coding. I also recommend getting comfortable with MDN Web Docs, Stack Overflow and this nifty software called Devbook will help. (I just hit alt+space and a search engine to stack overflow pops up).
