AI to the rescue! I wanted to try out that fancy generative AI stuff for coding, so I jumped in with a stopwatch project. Since I couldn’t snag a free GitHub Copilot thing, I went with Google Gemini.
programming languaje
I went with JavaScript for this project because:
- Works everywhere: You can use it on any browser or phone, awesome!
- Easy to learn: I didn’t know any JavaScript, but I got the hang of it quickly.
- Very versatile: It lets you create cool and interactive stuff, perfect for a stopwatch.
- Lots of help available: If I run into any problems, there are many JavaScript experts who can lend a hand.
process
- I asked for the whole app and then kept asking for changes. I knew other programming languages, and I could understand the code and explanations, so I could make the changes myself.
- Big mistake: I asked in Spanish. That meant the code ended up with a mix of languages, which I had to fix later.
- In a nutshell: I used my coding skills and the AI’s help to make the stopwatch app.
