  • Conclusions: Translating fp-filters from TypeScript to C# with AI Assistance

    1. AI Accelerates Porting, but Human Oversight Is Essential AI tools (GPT-4, GPT-5, Claude, Copilot, CodeRabbit) greatly speed up translation and refactoring, but human review is crucial for correctness, especially for edge cases and build issues. 2. Iterative Improvements Work Best Incremental changes—such as improving code coverage, refactoring namespaces, and enhancing documentation—yield better results than…

  • Deploy to nuget

    GPT 4.1 was incredibly usefull. But having the 2 AI reviewers ( Copilot and Code Rabbit )were best : improving the .csproj improving the github action to publish with the name of the build and many others See https://github.com/ignatandrei/Filters/pull/11 Discussion Human Please add readme and other things to deploy to nuget the Filters csproj from…

  • Cosmetic fixes

    Before deploy to Nuget I think how the programmer will use it . And the problem is the generated code – it repeats the name of the class twice .So AI will do some cosmetic fixes : Remove from the namespace the name of the class namespace FpFilters.NumberFilters { public static class NumberFilters modified to…

  • Interlude–AI Code Review

    CodeRabbit ( https://www.coderabbit.ai/ ) provides a free tier for OSS to do code reviews Also GitHub Copilot does that. So I tried both . And it is nice to see their suggestions ( for example, see https://github.com/ignatandrei/Filters/pull/1 and the other PR  ) and then telling to another AI to do the changes It was pretty…

  • Adding Linq functions

    LINQ is a powerful feature in C#, and this post showcases its integration into filter tests. By adding LINQ-friendly overloads and corresponding BDD tests, the filters became more versatile and idiomatic for C# developers. I give the general instruction that, << for any function with 2 parameters, add a function that can be used in…

  • Pareto principle for CodeCoverage

    The repeated discussion with AI about each filter ( string, boolean , number and so on) bring code coverage is 87.28 %. I do aim to reach 100%  . Why ? Because I haven’t created or teste the project manually , but it is MY project under MY name . Resume of how I have…

  • Adding Code Coverage

    Before  adding functional functions to address Linq  Where extension , I do aim to have 100 % code coverage – in order to know that all functions well . So tried to add code coverage with AI  . You will find below the Whole discussion . It works enough well , with 2 problems: Repeating…

  • Minimizing code with global usings

    I am fond of having all the usings declarations in a global.cs file by using global ( as opposed to have one by each file ) So I want that AI to remove redundant using statements from test and filter files and introduced global using directives in new global.cs files for both FpFilters and FpFilters.Tests…

  • Improving BDD Tests with HTML exports

    So now I have the reports to the console – but it will be better if I read them in a text file . So I have tried to add automatically report export into HTML . You will find below the Whole discussion , but AI did not make it . If you follow the…
