A GitHub Coding Bot Named WALTER

This weekend I built a GitHub GPT-4 coding bot I’m calling WALTER (acronym to come). I’m hoping to open source it later this week once the code is cleaner. I’m just really excited to share the progress. The workflow is just like the workflow we know and love. Open an issue on a repo and communicate with the GPT-4 via issue comments to design a solution to a problem. Then you approve the design. The AI writes the code and submits a pull request based on the discussion.
