I've tried it for a few days a month ago and it was noticably worse than copilot, copilot gave much more one shot completions sooner while codeium was line by line on same code.
Way better than the AWS code whisperer or whatever it's called but still not worth switching. Especially since I trust GH way more than some random company (GH already has access to my code anyway)
- ColonelPhantom 3y agoI should try Codeium then, Copilot's occasional "heap of code" was one of the most annoying parts of using it to me. Why? Because it looks plausible, so I accept it without actually understanding it. But using it as a better autocomplete is actually quite nice, for example when I have some more repetitive code to write. And a line-by-line AI completer will at least give me the time to read it piecemeal, which I find much easier. Just like I understood way better when my math teacher demonstrated how to solve a problem compared to reading it from the textbook.
- moonchrome 3y agoI'm already in the flow with copilot so I'm pretty good at expecting when it's useful. Basically I use it as AI copy paste. When I have variations of methods or conditional logic copilot is great at one shot solutions and it's trivial to verify (if it's wrong somehow then I would have done the wrong thing as well - it just saves me a minute of copy/paste and refactoring) copilot was just better.
