🤖 GPTCoder - A VS Code Extension

I just published my first Visual Studio Code extension and it's fantastic!

GPTCoder is a powerful VS Code extension that harnesses the power of OpenAI's GPT models to help you write code more efficiently. With GPTCoder, you can generate code based on a prompt and a stack of code snippets.
