Run your scripts with Wolverine and when they crash, GPT-4 edits them and explains what went wrong. Even if you have many bugs it will repeatedly rerun until it's fixed.

That seems… dangerous, to say the least

You're not suggesting that you won't put this immediately into Production are you?

Or test even!

It's all fun and games until you get a subprocess.run(["rm", "/", "-rf"]) snuck in there that you fail to notice.

1. Definitely don't run it as root.

2. Obv run in sandbox/container.

biobootloader 3 years ago | |

haha yes it did feel a bit wild just letting this run on my machine!

I wouldn't recommend running it on a script that's supposed to delete files

Should not be confused with Jeremy D Miller's "Wolverine" Message Bus software

Oh my god! That looks so much fun and so dangerous at the same time.

It didnt pick up the bug in the else of the calculate function, presumably it is only running along the path that the script is running based on the inputs.

biobootloader 3 years ago | |

it will sometimes fix other bugs, but yeah the focus is on ones that caused the crash or are obvious

salawat 3 years ago | | |

If they are so obvious, why didn't you just do it yourself the first time? Instead of yeeting large portions of your codebase at a 3rd-party web service?

Crashes are the easiest bugs to self-fix.

biobootloader 3 years ago | |

agreed! but it'd be nice to not have to jump back to the editor to fix a minor crash and then go rerun
