I need assistance with my Sister's clothing website. I'm NOT a website coder - and the JS code on the site might as well be Chinese writing to my eyes.
As such, I'm hoping to potentially find a JavaScript type Humanoid here. And, if you also have experience with DatoCMS & Shopify - that would be cool too!
Lately I've been impressed with perplexity.ai for investigating code in languages I'm not familiar with. For example, I asked it "How do I create a dropdown list in javascript", and I got this response:
https://www.perplexity.ai/search/how-do-i-create-a-dropdown-lis-h10.NikSRICr...
What I like about this particular LLM is that it searches the web, and takes the responses to further refine an answer. It gives easy-to-copy code samples, along with links to the websites where it got that information.
And like all LLMs, it can be wrong. I've run code it suggested, only to get an error. So I paste the error back into perplexity, and it corrects itself. Pretty impressive! I've had to write some Powershell and Windows batch files lately, and rather than google all that, I just asked perplexity how to solve the given problem in the given language. Saved me hours!
