I'm curious to know what AI-powered tools or platforms you’re using to improve your productivity as a developer. There’s been a lot of buzz around AI lately, and I’d love to hear about practical tools that are making a real difference in your day-to-day work.
Some questions to get the conversation started:
- Which AI tools are you using to write or review code?
- Any AI-driven features in your IDEs or editors that have been game-changers for you?
- Have you integrated AI into your testing, debugging, or deployment pipelines?
- Are there tools helping you outside of coding itself—like project management, task automation, or documentation?
I’m especially interested in hearing about tools that you find indispensable, whether they’re well-known or under the radar.
Looking forward to your insights!
I've always been intrigued by prediction markets and the concept of "skin in the game". It's fascinating to see where people are placing their bets rather than just hearing their theories. This led me down the rabbit hole of option markets - a complex yet intriguing betting arena.
The challenge with option markets, I found, is the steep learning curve just to understand what you're looking at in an option chain. So, in an attempt to peel back some of that complexity, I created a simple tool that helps visualise option chains through vega lite's expression language. This allows for a more intuitive understanding of options by visualising various metrics and comparisons.
Here are a few examples of what you can do with my tool:
# Option Price vs. Strike Price: See how the price changes relative to the strike price. Link: https://opts-visualizer.vercel.app/?fieldT=datum.ask&fieldX=datum.strike&symbol=SPY
# Strike as Percentage: For those who prefer percentage-based comparisons, this visualisation uses the datum.relativeStrike variable for a different perspective. https://opts-visualizer.vercel.app/?fieldT=datum.ask&fieldX=datum.relativeStrike&symbol=SPY
# Comparing TSLA vs MSFT Curious how the market expects TSLA and MSFT to move? https://opts-visualizer.vercel.app/?fieldColor=datum.ul.symbol&fieldFilter=inrange%28datum.relativeStrike%2C%5B-0.2%2C0.0%5D%29&fieldT=datum.ask%2Fdatum.ul.ask&fieldX=datum.relativeStrike&symbol=TSLA%2CMSFT
This is a fun side project I've been tinkering with. It's entirely free and open source, hoping it might help demystify options a bit for those interested. Feedback, contributions, or just a quick test drive would be immensely appreciated!
