This has gone too far...About the recent Replit Ask post, and my opinions on the changes
I didn’t expect this to blow up
😮.
For all of you guys who say that I’m trying to portray Replit Ask as toxic, yes and no(45% yes) , based on @bigminiboss’s comment in the blog post, the Ask forums are somewhat a bit toxic as per what I 👀.
Admit it, I took things too seriously 😒

Replit-Blog-IroncladDevEvery week I'll publish an update on this repl as a new post of what's happening, what I'm planning do to, interesting events, and more!
Have any questions you'd like to ask me? Reply to my most recent post update and I'll answer them the next day!
Feb 14th, 2023 (AI edition)
Hello everyone! 👋 It's been a while since I last posted. If you've been paying attention to my content, I've been a lot more active on DEV and twitter lately.
Let's dive into some awesome Replit launches and what I've been up to lately.
And by the way before we continue, this post was written mostly by Ghostwriter Chat. If you'd like to watch the video of me doing it, here is a loom recording:

Launches
Nix Migration

A while back, Replit updated its language support engine and replaced Polygott with Nix. To make sure any Repl you fork is up to date and includes the latest features, Replit will automatically convert it to Nix when it's opened. This means that any time you open up a Repl you might have forked, it'll have all the latest features and settings available.
Bounty Reputation System

Now you can receive ratings for your work on Bounties when you review Bounty Hunters through Replit 🤩. This makes it easier to track your progress and show off the work you have done 🎉.

After receiving a review, your reputation can be viewed and assessed by a Bounty Poster. This allows the Bounty Poster to evaluate your performance and decide if you are suitable for future tasks 🤝.
Ghostwriter Chat
Replit's Ghostwriter Chat AI Assistant is your helpful companion for coding conversations and tasks 🤖. It can answer questions, generate code, and provide you with the guidance you need to become a better programmer 💻.
As of this post, Ghostwriter Chat is only available to Replit employees. Keep your eyes open 'cause it's going to ship real soon!
Tab Upgrade

Replit's Tab Upgrade feature makes it easier to organize and switch between tabs and panes using only your keyboard 💻. Now you can conveniently access your workspace and quickly navigate it with improved speed and efficiency.
Watch this loom video for more information on how it works.

Personal Updates
DevRel Stuffs
I'm digging deeper into DevRel by becoming more active on platforms like Twitter, DEV and Polywork. I'm looking forward to getting to know more people, start writing more tutorials, and in general expand to more platforms than just Replit.
If you enjoy coding in React, Javascript, and/or Typescript, I have some tutorials y'all might want to check out.
Three 💪 Solid 🪄 Minimalist ⚛️ Components
Proper State Management 🛠 with Jotai 👻 in 30 seconds 🕖 🔥
And if you want to start getting into techincal blogging, I also wrote a post on it.
Side Projects
I've been continuing to building my portfolio, progress is going slow but smooth.

I'm also building an AI model that acts like Amjad Masad (@amasad). Working on this project has been a great challenge and opportunity for me as a tech enthusiast. I'm learning more about AI technology and how to apply it in a practical purpose.
Questions
What do you think are the benefits of Replit to novice programmers?
How could AI technology be used to improve customer service?
What potential do you think Ghostwriter has in making coding easier?
Thanks for reading!
If you enjoy my content be sure to drop a follow on DEV and twitter.
Catch y'all next time! 😉
DillonB07 1. Well, it used to help with dependency hell, but not so much anymore. I think the tutorial folder and the courses are the best for novices.
2. Well, basic questions it can answer which would help response time from humans on more complex queries that the AI can't handle.
3. To be completely honest, Ghostwriter isn't great for me. The Complete suggestions are normally inaccurate and useless for me and I never need Transform or Explain. The only one I'd really use is Generate which is part of Hacker until April! Maybe this will change when Chat comes along, but I don't think $10 a month is worth it right now. Maybe if you could buy the different AI power-ups individually, at 2.5k per month per power-up. Of course, this would be tweaked to accommodate the value that each of the power-ups provide.1 month ago
ParanormalCoder @IroncladDev
Thanks for the tutorials on React i've been struggling to learn it and they have been really helpful with showing what I can do with it 😃
1. The community definitely helps novice programmers find inspiration
2. I think it could be used to instantly fix small bugs that are reported

Tip Me!Although you are not forced to tip me, it is very appreciated! Every cycle I earn will go directly to cool projects that I'm working on that you probably want awake the whole time and faster. Remember you are NOT forced to tip me!

d31337 @Coder992 Wow. Actual begging for cycles. Pretty shameful, and this is coming from the guy who got famous off of DUM mogus. If you would like tips, please make Repls that people can actually enjoy. To everyone else: don't encourage this behavior.2 months ago
