I think the focus on speed is great, but I don't feel my IDE's speed has held me back in a decade.
- 8n4vidtmkvmk 2y agoWhat has slowed me down is all the garbage pop ups and things that get in my way. Every time I open VSCode it tries reconnecting to some SSH I had open before it lets me do anything. And god forbid I have two different workspaces. The constant "what's new" and "please update me now"s don't help either. I love IntelliJ but it does not start up quickly, which is a problem if I just want to look at a little code snippet.
- Terretta 2y agoAnthropic working with Paul Gauthier and Zed being aider-aware would be phenomenal. He's been working this for a while: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35947073 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35947073 When familiar with Aider, it feels as if this Zed.ai post is chasing Paul's remarkably pragmatic ideas for making LLMs adept at codebases, without yet hitting the same depth of repo understanding or bringing automated smart loops to the process. Watching Aider's "wait, you got that wrong" prompt chains kick in before handing the code back to you is a taste of "AI". If your IDE is git savvy, then working with Aider in an Aider REPL terminal session with frequent /commits that update your IDE is like pair programming with a junior dev that happens to have read all the man pages, docs wikis, and stackoverflow answers for your project.
