AI will not replace devs. Devs that use AI will replace devs that do not use AI.
The most effective devs will be those employing a fleet of AI agents, acting as the glue and guiding hand for what the agents should produce.
This helps us get to that future, so I think this has legs.
I use VS code. I will try this out.
Hey HN, CodiumAI co-founder here. We’ve come up with a bit of a different concept for what a coding agent should be. We believe it should work in tandem with a developer inside the IDE. Over time as the tech improves, it will get more and more autonomy. We’ve been using our coding agent internally and see a 5-10x boost on some tasks . The agent is available now to Codiumate VS Code users. We want to hear what kind of…
That's my experience with co-pilots too:
- Generating tests
- Generating functions consistent with prevailing style of similar functionality in the existing codebase. The greater the consistency, the more helpful the AI is at generating.
- Telling me why my code is crap by adding a `# todo: ` above some code and seeing what the AI suggests should be changed :)
What other tasks do you see as good target for 5-10x boosts?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Well, To put it simple: Like copilot, it does have an auto-complete and also chat interface. Different than copilot, it focuses on generating a full code task plan, then having the auto completion work acrroding to your plan, and it check the of quality code. Like agents, it tries to help you complete a full task, yet,does that in tandem with you, as you work inside tour favorite IDE writing the code with you. In add…
As long as your favorite IDE is VSCode?
I tried Codeium out last week and couldn't get on with it at all. I was using their Sublime Text integration which I have to say is barely integrated - it was slower to suggest code than CoPilot, the suggestions weren't as useful, the way it just put the suggestion directly into the buffer you're typing in was extremely distracting. I turned it off after about 5 minutes. I suspect the Sublime integration has had the…
