Does it really know about the whole codebase? How big are we talking about?
Last I tried, some time ago, llm didn't work very well "in the large". But I have never tried Claude Code.
- botto 1y agoI have tried claude code on a few different size code bases and so far very impressed. The code it generates is usually in the same fashion and tone as the rest of the code base.
- olalonde 1y agoI guess I should have said that it has access to all your code. But I think it tries to be smart about which files it reads depending on the task at hand.
- jamil7 1y agoNo it doesn’t, it tries to be smart about how it loads context that it thinks it needs to perform a task. In reality, in a large codebase I’ve found manual supplying the exact context to Aider with Anthropic’s models to work better.
- fho 1y agoSame. It's usually very good at generating greenfield projects from scratch, but once you get going you have to manually provide all context to get good results.
