   I might be wrong, I last used Cline in December, but I believe we're talking about different things. Cline's an Agent, and you chat with it, based on which it makes edits to your files. I don't think it has manual inline ed

   The way context management in Zed works is really well-done imo. I haven't found a different place which does it this way. Basically, by default: - You have the chat - Inline edits you do use the chat as context And that is extremely p

   The sentiment resonates with me. Had similar thoughts a couple years ago, and wrote jql[0] as a jq alternative with a lispy syntax (custom, not Common Lisp), and I’ve been using it for command-line JSON processing ever since! [0]: https:&#

   Fingers crossed, though I’m not holding my breath for anything taking a sizable bite out of Python in the area of ML/DL. OCaml seems to be a lovely language based on my limited experience with it. It’s a pity it’s not more popular.

   Generally, all that non-tech content still helps the model “to learn”. Also, the software you’re working on will generally in some way have a real-world domain - without knowing it the AI all likely be a less effective assistant. Design con

   This is really cool! One strategy I often use (which is much simpler and more limited than this), is to finish my message with: “Please do a round of thinking in <thinking></thinking> tags, then a round of self-critique in

   Yeah. I love the Zed AI assistant for the way it manages context (inline edits in the context of the chat) and how "raw" it is. However, I mostly use Goland for coding, so was getting annoyed at having to switch constantly. So, in

   That's an excellent article - it's great when people share not only their victories, but mistakes, and what they learned from them. That said regarding both rapid gameplay mechanic iteration and modding - would that not generally

    First, as you get used to LLMs you learn how to get sensible explanations from them, and how to detect when they're bullshitting around, imo. It's just another skill you have to learn, by putting in the effort of extensively using

    That sounds very unlike my experience. I frequently get it to modify / create large parts of files at a time, successfully.

    This is very accurate imo - it really is the skill of proper delegation. Same for asking AI questions in an unbiased way so it doesn’t just try to please you - this has made me better at asking questions to people as well! It’s like a sligh

    I was very unimpressed with their original AI assistance implementation, so I’m gonna wait to see some user stories / reviews before I put my time into that, and so far I have seen effectively no mention of Junie anywhere. Moreover, th

    I've read anecdotal evidence that it uses tokens more sparingly than Claude Code - supported by the, likewise anecdotal, evidence that Claude Code is more effective in practice. However, that would be reasonable, as basically 1-3 sessi

    In terms of terminal-based and open-source, I think aider is the most popular one.

    by cube2222 1y ago

    I like the terminal UX because VS Code (and any forks of it) is not my editor of choice, and swapping around to use an editor just for AI coding is annoying (I was doing that with the Zed Assistant a lot). With Claude Code I can stay in Gol

    I don’t think this is at the level of putting folks out of a job yet, frankly. It’s fine for straightforward changes, but more complex stuff, like concurrency, I still end up doing by hand. And even for the straightforward stuff, I generall

    Could be reasonable for the $200/month sub maybe? But then again, $200 upfront is a much tougher sell than $15 dollars per PR.

    Coding agents use extreme numbers of tokens, you’d be getting rate limited effectively immediately. A typical small-medium PR with Claude Code for me is ~$10-15 of API credits.

    Fingers crossed for this to work well! Claude Code is pretty excellent. I’m actually legitimately surprised how good it is, since other coding agents I’ve used before have mostly been a letdown, which made me only use Claude in direct chang

    I believe most of these people (including myself) in this context are just talking about boring / obvious / easy code. And yeah, I’d say a large percentage of code changes I do is plumbing for the few interesting ones. AI handles

    You may also consider using the Jujutsu VCS[0] as effectively a nicer and saner git frontend. I’ve written an intro to it a couple weeks back[1] - I’ve been using it since, and so far haven’t had the need to switch back to git at any point.
