I have started using Claude Dev (an extension for VSCode - https://github.com/saoudrizwan/claude-dev https://github.com/saoudrizwan/claude-dev), and so far my impression has been very positive. It’s a full blown code agent that looks for relevant files in the code base, can ask you to run commands and modify files etc. You use your own Anthropic API key or self hosted model.

Claude Dev does have a really nice UI nailed down. I was not aware that you could run local models yourself with it, which would be a great feature but kind of obviates the name.

Sounds a little like aider.chat

  It is quite similar but I found aider a bit clunky to use in that it creates a new commit with a huge message being the whole conversation and context. Which can be a good thing of course, but for most things I'd rather accumulate changes until a feature is finished, then I commit.

    I think the default is not to do this anymore (at least the whole convo and chat aren't in the commit). It is strangely scary to have it commit on every change, even if that's probably objectively the right thing for it to do (so you can roll back, so that commits are atomic, etc, etc).

    Just work on a branch and squash.

    I remember that... but I think it's changed now. Aider remains to me one of the places where innovation happens and it seems to end up in other places. Their new feature to architect with o1 and then code with sonnet is pretty trippy. Only can run so many IDEs at a time though.

      This feature: https://aider.chat/2024/09/26/architect.html https://aider.chat/2024/09/26/architect.html It's great!

    I use aider with the --no-auto-commits flag. Then review code and do manual edits in VSCode, as well as manual git process. It achieves exactly what you're saying. aider --sonnet --no-auto-commits --cache-prompts --no-stream --cache-keepalive-pings 5 --no-suggest-shell-commands`

      This is a great tip, appreciate it

Are there any great AI plug-ins anyone recommends for Sublime Text? For me it's still the cleanest editor. VS Code is way too cluttered to be my daily driver for basic editing.

  Is the zed-editor not too cluttered for you? If not, it has some ai support.
