How GitLab Duo Code Suggestions helped me make long car rides fun

During a long car ride with his daughter, the author conceived the idea of creating a simple guessing game application to entertain her, despite not having developed an application in years and lacking knowledge of modern programming languages like Python. By utilizing GitLab Duo Code Suggestions (Beta), an AI-powered feature that assists with coding, the author successfully developed the game using plain text comments, which the AI translated into functional Python code. The application involves guessing a random number between 0 and 10, and after testing it thoroughly in VS Code, the author found it to work flawlessly. To make the game accessible to his daughter on her iPad, the author used GitLab Remote Development workspaces to create a mobile-friendly environment, showcasing the power of cloud-hosted development spaces. While the Code Suggestions feature is still in its beta phase and may experience occasional issues, the author encourages feedback to help improve the tool, emphasizing its potential to enhance programming experiences.
