xh VS Productivity Power Tools

Except when you actually enjoy things being fast. For example, HTTPie easily adds 0.5-1s delay to every request because it's written in Python, especially on the first invocation. Xh (https://github.com/ducaale/xh), on the other hand, starts immediately because it's written in Rust. I very much like this trend. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

HTTPie is great and was a big improvement for me over cURL. However, I ended up switching to xh[1] as it's significantly faster and I prefer its output. https://github.com/ducaale/xh. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

Prompt-tower simplifies and speeds-up how prompts with multiple code blocks are written. It's often a pain jumping between files, classes, functions, etc and copying/pasting everything, wrapping and annotating the blocks, and finally sending the prompt off for generation. After seeing filekitty [1], I felt inspired to build my version of the idea... Which is a vscode extension that fits better in a developer's... - Source: Hacker News / 5 days ago

One of the first things we did when GPT-4 became available was talk to our Azure rep and get access to the OpenAI models that they'd partnered with Microsoft to host in Azure. Now, we have our own private, not-datamined (so they claim, contractually) API endpoint and we use an OpenAI integration in VS Code[1] to connect to, allowing anyone in the company to use it to help them code. I also spun up an internal chat... - Source: Hacker News / 16 days ago
