Development Process

Research and Planning

• Google Searches:

  • Researched concepts and algorithms for building a poker app:
    • build simple poker react.js
    • digital 5 card draw poker concepts algorithms data
  • Cross-referenced findings from Google with insights from Copilot (using ChatGPT) to develop a mental model and begin architecting the app.
  • Looked up advanced poker rules (e.g., "Can you replace all 5 cards in single-draw?") to ensure accuracy.

• Stack Selection:

  • Drafted the initial tech stack independently.
  • Asked Copilot for feedback on the stack, discussing alternatives, pros, and cons before finalizing the stack.

Co-Authoring with Copilot

• Collaborative Areas:

  • Co-authored the following with Copilot:
    • Unit tests
    • JSDoc comments
    • README documentation

• Approach to Co-Authoring:

  • Only co-author textual content or code that I could easily write myself.
  • Use co-authoring to save time and/or learn new techniques, never to skip coding or learning.
  • Review and rewrite every character to make sure It's accurate, reflects my decisions and voice, and adheres best practices.
  • Confirm best practices and standards before implementing suggestions.
