- postalcoder 11mo agoI forgot to mention that Aider uses a tree sitter approach. It's blazing fast and great for quick changes. It's not the greatest agent for doing heavy edits but I don't it has to do with them not using grep.
- the_mitsuhiko 11mo agoThey are using RAG. Grep is also just RAG. The better question is why they don’t use a vector database and honestly the answer is that these things are incredibly hard to keep in sync. And if they are not perfectly in sync, the utility drops quickly.
- esafak 11mo agoBy RAG they mean vector search. They're calling grep "agentic search".
