👋 Goodbye, CoPilot! Hello, Codeium!

I've paid for Github CoPilot for more than a year, but just switched to Codeium after ~10 days. It’s looking like a decision that will stick.

Have you tried Phind? Similar to this, specially the sidebar. It does not have inline autocomplete though.

Hei Chris I just want to ask: when did you make the blog tutorial? I've been waiting.

I am finding that Claude 3 Opus in an open browser window is more helpful that an integrated assistant in my editor. It lacks the context and repo access, but it learns quickly through the continuing conversation.

@CodinginPublic 3 ай бұрын

I agree each place has its use case. I mostly use codium for writing small functions I already know how to write and just don’t want to take the time to manually write out. I use Raycast’s GPT to discuss code patterns im not yet sure how to solve.

@tinusg 3 ай бұрын

For me it's the reverse. I cannot live with assistants that don't have context and auto completion.

@losource 3 ай бұрын

@@tinusg Well here's the thing. There is context after a fashion because you can keep adding to a conversation and Claude just keeps on learning. I keep a single conversation going for each project. Start by uploading the relevant files. It's not the same as having full access to the project and repo, but on the other hand Claude 3 Opus is totally blowing GPT-4 out of the water for coding suggestions. I still have Github copilot, but mainly just for git commit messages now lol.

@seventyfive7597 2 ай бұрын

@@losource I actually find gpt to be vastly superior to opus when it comes to a bit more complex code like real time or fully featured languages such as cpp, or in complex algorithms etc. Opus will go for the naive approach and it's good if the language limits your expressability as in python, but not when you can consider more sophisticated paradigms.

If using Codeium for privacy, it might also be good to use VSCodium for the same reason. It might take some work to install and run the extension, but should work well enough.

@CodinginPublic 3 ай бұрын

Is VSCodium a fork of VSCode?

@_codemaestro 3 ай бұрын

Yes. I tried it for a bit. Most extensions worked fine, unless they require access to MS servers, like Live Share.

@no_name4796 26 күн бұрын

or go extreme, and switch to neovim. If you are willing to be in pain for a LOOONG time (i had to use neovim for 1 year to be at a level where i actually am faster then vscode), it's most definitely worth it! And also forces you to learn how stuff (like lsp, completion,...) actually work, which is nice to know for a programmer And all plugins are open source, so you actually have 100% privacy Also: ironically enough, Codemium is easier to install on neovim then many other plugins lol.

After a bit (a lot) of trouble, I installed it for Neovim in NixOS. It works really well with custom keybindings, and the language server is quite responsive. I am a bit doubtful about their pricing model being sustainable though. Awesome video as always!

the code completion is amazing. just started writing a loader for my project, after writing the header it gave me a good suggestion based on just the function name and the params (opening the file I think). TAB, ENTER, next line, another good suggestion TAB, ENTER, it ended up writing the whole thing!

been using codeium for the past year or so. mine's errored out right now and has been for a while and I honestly don't care that much **edit: just checked - i just didn't bother installing it on this new laptop... it's a pretty good auto complete. Kind of. i might reinstall it. had been hoping copilot was a step above, but obviously not? shame. i can't remember the last time codeium actually helped me solve a bug though. gippity 3.5, 100%.

@CodinginPublic 3 ай бұрын

I think it depends on what you use these things for. For me, I mostly use AI in-editor for writing small, dumb functions I know how to write but don’t want to take the time to write. Longer coding discussions about code take place outside my editor. Not sure why I’ve done it like that, but it seems to help!

@scrimb 2 ай бұрын

Is it just me, or did Codeium get worse? Are they merging more tokens now since more people are using it?

@CodinginPublic 2 ай бұрын

Hmm. Haven’t noticed that? But it’s possible. I think these things will still take a while to be consistently helpful

@kishirisu1268 3 ай бұрын

Having some dumb AI chat directly in your IDE is the worst idea for real life development. I use plain and simple free GPT and only if Ilike suggested code I can copy it to the project. I will never let AI randomly change existing working code, it is just absurd idea..

@CodinginPublic 3 ай бұрын

There are levels of integration. It’s certainly possible to go too far. But we’re all still figuring out the right level and we’ll draw different lines. Obviously, the most important thing is to be the ultimate author of your code and know what it does.

0:58 random company offers “free forever” while external analysts estimated, and was later confirmed, that github co-pilot - despite charging users - is losing about 20 USD per User per month. So, explain to me like I am five, why any sane software engineer should turn their back on a company and team that has a 1+ decade track record in supporting the software engineering practice in exchange for … this?
