Now that cursor sucks, what do you use for AI help while coding?
Claude Code?
Roo?
Kilo?
Good old Copy/Paste from a web interface?
So far, what has worked best for me is Github's Coding Agent. You do not even need an editor.
Codex is right there next to it, but sadly must worse integration with GitHub
>>106144994 (OP)Claude Code got a white boy feeling invincible.
>>106144994 (OP)I got copilot pro for free, so I'm using that along with diff checker and copypaste from gemini interface. Works well enough. Don't fall for the agent meme, current tech isn't smart enough for that
>>106145458oh yeah, I get copilot for free too, I just haven't used it in a few years. Maybe I try it again
>>106144994 (OP)Warp is good, it's basically a better claude code but it doubles as a command line plus you can multithread agents conveniently. And you're not locked into using just one model like Cuck Code
>>106145458>agent memeAgents work decently now if you give them well-defined and right-sized tasks. You need to babysit them though and stop them from doing something retarded every 10th step for any sort of complex task.
Problem with the new Quen Coder model is that it's so fast you can't catch it before it does something retarded every now and then.
is using some kind of specialized coding interface really that important? I just copy paste into and from gemini
>Use AI to write code
>All of the code written by an AI is full of shitty mistakes
>Edit the code yourself, only to find more shitty mistakes, because the AI fucked up simple syntaxes
>Use another AI to check for shitty mistakes and fix them
>The AI that is supposed to check code makes shitty mistakes and needs to be babysat
>The program you used AI to write is shelved after a new Windows release completely breaks all functionality
Do you see the problem with using AI to code yet?
>>106145841you don't have to use AI in this manner. you can use it as like one or two abstraction level above your current editor hotkeys
>>106145841I want the opposite. I want to write code myself, but have AI analyze it, try to understand what its supposed to do, or me having to specify it, then checks for mistakes. This would solve 100% of my coding problems.
And all that locally.
>>106144994 (OP)awww lil babby is too stupid to code and needs the AI to do it for him
>>106144994 (OP)Haven't tried anything beyond cline and the gemini vs code extension (it sucks).
Is Roo better in any way?
I actually do exactly that with ChatGPT, albeit not exactly super locally, more like manually. I uploaded a snapshot of my repo to it, asked it to scan it and analyze it and have a sort if internal representation of it onto which I can dump diffs of new commits. Got quite productive that way. I write code. If something breaks or doesn't work as I expect it, I ask ChatGPT if it sees the problem, very often it does and directs me to the line were the problem occurs - this saves me time debugging, but I still understand everything I fix. It also does sanity checks on every commit, stuff like unit test coverage or edge cases I forgot about. Finally, it suggests design ideas when I ask it to, and even though those ideas may not always be good or the way I want them, it helps me get unstuck and come up with the stuff I actually want.
