Current AI's could never have such deep thoughts haha

I wrote every word! Though I did have some suggestions from Opus haha

Hi, just wrote up some reflections & strategy on this moment as a codegen startup founder. Let me know if you have any questions!

Yup, it's just what we wanted for our coding agent. Codebuff can enter a "Deep thinking" mode and we can tell it to burn a lot of tokens hahaha.

I would try this if it had Android support! Is that planned? Also curious which integrations people use the most. If it's email, why not just build an email app?

Nice! It's a totally different world with AI tools. Seems like a good strategy to get previously non-technical folks in on it, especially for front end apps.

Yes, but did you try it? I think Codebuff is by far the easiest to use and may also be more effective in your large codebase than any other comparable tool (i.e. like Cursor compos…

I'm just saying what users of Codebuff have said about us compared to competitors. You should try Codebuff and see for yourself how it reads files! It's not simply a tool call. We …

Here's my application: https://manicode.notion.site/Manicode-YC-application-c52f592... I listed: Cursor, Devin, Codium, Augment, Greptile, Lovable.dev, Aider.chat, mentat.ai, devlo…

Sure! I git cloned some open source projects, and wrote a script (with Codebuff) to pick commits and individual diffs of files. For each of those, I had Claude write a sketch of wh…

Thanks for your reply! I started Codebuff without being aware of Aider. I actually have not yet tried Aider (though I plan to try it soon!). It's totally true that a lot of the dev…

Sweet. Personally, I use both Cursor and Codebuff. I open the terminal panel at the bottom of the Cursor window, start up `codebuff`, and voila, I have an upgraded version of Curso…

Codebuff is a bit simpler and requires less input from the user since you just chat and it does multi-file edits/runs commands. It's also more powerful since it pulls more files as…

I think it would handle the giant file, but it would definitely pull the whole thing into context. We are doing some tricks so it should be able to edit the file without rewriting …

Thank you for the very kind comment!

Good question! There's a couple reasons. One is that I think it is simpler for the end user to not have to add their own keys. It allows them to start for free and is less friction…

I wrote a custom `applyPatch` function that tries to use the line numbers, but falls back to searching for the context lines to line up the +/- patched lines. It actually got line …

It sounds minor that it finds files for you, but if you try it out, you'll see that it's a giant leap in UX and the extra files help it generate better code because it has more exa…

That's surprising to me, usually it works quite well at this. Did you start codebuff in the root of your project so that it can get context on your codebase?

Ah yeah, that's what I mean! I thought RAG is synonymous with this vector search approach. Either way, we do the search step a little different and it works well.

Yup, there's a tradeoff in $$$, but for a lot of people it should be worth it, since Codebuff can find more relevant files with example code that will make the output higher qualit…

I have heard good things about Cline! I'm curious to learn more. I need to try it out myself. I see Codebuff as a premium version of Cline, assuming that we are in fact more expens…

That's a really great point. Since we manage the context, we should clear the old files if it's been > 5 minutes. Thanks for the idea!
