I recently cancelled copilot (only used the chat) in favor of aider[0] and chatgpt vscode extension[1]. I really didn’t find myself using it much and paying for usage via openai api seems a bit more reasonable for my use case.
Side note… I also tried continue.dev vscode extension[2] but could not get it to work reliably.

- vunderba 3y agoI really want to continue to support Continue as they're one of the few coding assistants that have extensions for both VS Code and Jetbrains IDEs.
- brandonaaron 3y agoIt looks like it should be a really nice extension. I did do a little digging to see if I could help debug the issues I was running into but ultimately didn’t have the time to allocate to it. I’ll try again in the near future.
- pests 3y agoBig fan of aider too. I spend way too much just playing around in repos. I think Paul is somewhere on HN too.

- ranguna 3y agoAider looks pretty good, have you tried it on medium to big sized repos?
- brandonaaron 3y agoI have toyed with it on a larger code base but nothing significant. I ran out of tokens fairly quickly on trying out some larger refactoring/tasks. I don’t find myself reaching for it much but I’m usually pretty impressed when I do.
