Does anyone know guides to integrate this with any kind of big co production application? The examples are all small toy projects. My biggest problems are like there’s 4 packages I need to change and 3 teams and half a dozen micro services are involved.

Does any LLM do this yet? I want to throw it at a project that’s in package and micro service hell and get a useful response. Some weeks I spend almost all my time cutting tickets to other teams, writing documents, and playing politics when the other teams don’t want me to touch their stuff. I know my organization is broken but this is the world I live in.

Sorry for the noob question, but claude has claudecode, does Gemini Pro work with any software in the same way "claudecode" works? If so what software would I use with it? Thank you.

Aider is worth a look. The current rate limits for Gemini 2.5 Pro make it hard to run something like Claude Code with it, since that tool is very API chatty.

Hi Simon. Do you recommend aider over Cursor? I've always used aider, and like it, but it just seems like Cursor is overtaking it in terms of features, and I wonder if sticking with aider still makes sense.

I don't actually use Aider or Cursor myself - I still mostly work in the ChatGPT and Claude web interfaces (or apps) directly and do a lot of copy and pasting.

For me I had to upload the library's current documentation to it because it was using outdated references and changing everything that was working in the code to broken and not focusing on the parts I was trying to build upon.

If you don't mind me asking how do you go about this? I hear people commonly mention doing this but I can't imagine people are manually adding every page of the docs for libraries or frameworks they're using since unfortunately most are not in one single tidy page easy to copy paste.

Would you mind sharing what the project is, and which AI you are using? No sign so far of AI's usefulness slowing down as the complexity increases?

No one links their ai code, you noticed?

Aider is written with AI, you're welcome.

I know many people who can and will one-shot a rewrite of 500 LOC. In my world, 500 LOC is about the length of a single function. I don't understand why we should be talking about generating a high level plan with multiple tests etc. for a single function. And I don't think this is uncommon. Just a random example from Github, this file is 1800 LOC and 4 functions. It implements one very specific thing that's part of…

> I don't understand why we should be talking about generating a high level plan with multiple tests etc. for a single function. You don't have to, you can write it by hand. I thought we were talking about how we can make computers write code, instead of humans, but it seems that we're trying to prove that LLMs aren't useful instead.

If we have to break the problem into tiny pieces that can be individually tested in order for LLMs to be useful, I think it clearly limits LLM usability to a particular niche of programming.

If you find youtubers talking about it, they all fully agree that making these thumbnails is soul draining and they are totally aware how stupid they are. But they are also aware that click-through rates fall off a cliff when you don't use them. Humans are mostly dumb, it's up to you if you want to use it to your advantage or to your detriment.

> Humans are mostly dumb, it's up to you if you want to use it to your advantage or to your detriment. Is that true? I like to think it’s mostly kids. Honestly the world is a dark place if it’s adults doing the clicking.

You definitely underestimate kids and overestimate adults.

I mean responses like this one: I understand the desire for a simple or unconventional solution, however there are problems with those solutions. There is likely no further explanation that will be provided. It is best that you perform testing on your own. Good luck, and there will be no more assistance offered. You are likely on your own. This was about a SOCKS proxy which was leaking when the OpenVPN provider was d…

LOL that to me reads like an absolute garbage of a response. I'd unsubscribe immediately and jump ship to any of the competitors if I ever got that

No wonder most of the models are so obsequious, they have to pander to people like you

By saying "why do I have to use a specific technique, instead of naively, to get what I want"?

"Why do I have to put in more work to use this tool vs. not using it?"

Which is exactly what I said here:
