As a Sublime Text user I really wish more of these tools worked outside of VS Code.
VS Code is the Internet Explorer of code editors.

#82I would use it if the LLM they used were better. It keeps inventing files that don't exist. If I could just provide my GPT-4 API key so it can use GPT-4 I'd be happy.
Highly recommending filing issues on their repo if you have anything reproducible. I've had several bugs I filed get fixed this way.

Awesome. The repository is at https://github.com/sourcegraph/cody for anyone who hasn't seen it yet.

#84Any plans for an Emacs package?
A couple WIP ones: https://github.com/keegancsmith/emacs-cody and https://github.com/j-shilling/lsp-cody. Our head of eng (Steve Yegge) is going to start hacking on one this week, I hear. :)

#85Can’t be worse than Github Copilot so i’m giving it a try.
I'm just curious -- what specific issues have you had with Copilot? I use it constantly (probably accepting a suggestion for every few seconds of typing), to the point where I'm starting to just not think about it anymore like I previously didn't think about normal autocomplete. It has written hundreds of perfect unit tests for me (perfect as in I have read the code and it matches virtually exactly what I would have…

If I put a single swear word in my code it refuses to complete anymore

#86> Free forever for individual devs on public and private code, with a generous rate limit.
What's the catch?

#87I have been using Cody in VSCode for a couple of months, and I am getting a ton of value out of it. The key things I love are: 1. It really knows how to summarise a code blocks, this can be helpful to review code in other projects, or provide a refresher to your own, it misses very little! 2. It is very smart when it comes to filling in gaps in log statements, error messages or code comments. 3. Copy and paste is mos…
About the "know your code" part, I got burned when I asked for an overview of a few header files from an SDK I wasn't familiar with in a local repo.
Claude hallucinated badly, making up functions and their descriptions for most files—in a very believable way, though.
I've got the habit of double-checking with ChatGTP, just to be sure.

There are tools focused on Code Generation, and those that are focused on Code Analysis or Integrity.
Their UX/UI might be very different as well as the underlying tech.
I wonder if you have tried tools that are dedicated to Code Integrity, e.g. generating tests?
I wrote a blog about it: https://www.codium.ai/blog/code-integrity-supercharges-code-...
