Codeium did 700 autocompletions for me this week. I can see it evolving and getting better. Had deleted it a few months ago and use it again since a few weeks. Much changed. The autocompletion quality is great. It does what Ive would've done based on my project. I use quite consistent naming and it even generates good function names. I consider the autocomplete of codeium a huge success. I didn't use the chat tho, not interested in prompt engineering. I'm faster myself regarding doing it well. It also comes with a nice statistics page and is considered to be better than copilot. Didn't use copilot myself. Anyone else experience with both?

    Copilot is generally great for me. I’m not sure what I would get out of codeium or similar tools. I have tried it in both vs code and jetbrains, and the chat has helped me a lot in UE5 projects where it goes through related files to do suggestions.
    It does use incorrect stuff sometimes but it’s always useful at least as a reference.

    Jetbrains default AI completion tool works well for me. It suggests proper code even when my codes spans across different files. So I haven't looked into any other tool.

    I hate how close the name is to Codium. Am I the only one who does not use AI for programming?

    I sometimes take my finished code and paste it into GPT, asking it to describe what my code does, critique it and improve upon it. Educational. Some cool ideas.

    But honestly, coding with AI is closer to code review than coding. And I am better at coding than reviewing.
