I've been pretty amazed at how useful OpenAI and CoPilot have been in
co-writing door programs/functions.

It takes some prompt jockeying, frustrating at times -- and you do
need to know the language basics -- but I've been able to accelerate
door coding (and even fixing my old BBS door programs) in antiquated
languages (like PASCAL 7/DOS) and modern (GO) projects for my BBS.

Anyone else doing this?

I've been using it to write a door for synchronet using javascript.
Its working pretty well.

I miss writing the batch files that kicked off the doors on my Wildcat
BBS.

I still do for my Synchronet BBS :)

Yeah! Sometimes I have to remind it that it needs to compile under
TP7, but I agree works pretty well

I've integrated the BBS with several API's using Synchronet, PHP, etc.
with flat files, JSON, IRC, web feeds, GeoAPI and weather APIs, etc.

I could integrate with the ChatGPT API, but I wonder to myself, "Does
anyone want it?".
