CodeBuddy

“All my new full-stack projects are written 80-90% with AI via Codebuddy and Copilot. I've been a professional software developer for over 22 years. There are definitely things that AI currently can't do, but the more a project is done with AI the easier it is for AI to continue doing it, especially if you let the AI drive as much as you can.”

“Yeah, like a lot of these other guys, I have lots of years programming (40 personally, 35 professionally). They're super tools, but if you don't pay attention to the code they're generating and don't understand what's happening, you're going to get yourself into some embarrassing situations... Make sure you understand the code. If I were reviewing code from a developer and said, "why did you do it this way," and the answer was, "I don't know, that's the way the AI did it," I'd be pretty disple”

“Codebuddy is more like using ChatGPT rather than just autocomplete, but with codebase understanding like Cursor, and the ability to create files and edit existing files without having to choose where to insert code. The Jetbrains integration is particularly good, but I might be biased. Works as a plugin/extension for Jetbrains and VSCode IDEs Codebase understanding - Like Cursor, it scans your entire codebase into a vector database so you can ask questions about your repo. We use it differen”

“Codebuddy was originally created as an answer to "what if ChatGPT, but without copy/paste". It has since grown quite a lot from that though: Works as a plugin/extension for Jetbrains and VSCode IDEs. We did Jetbrains first because we felt it was being under represented in the AI assistant space last year Codebase understanding - Like Cursor, it scans your entire codebase into a vector database so you can ask questions about your repo. We use it differently than Cursor though since we only us”

“Honestly the best thing is still copy and pasting snippets in my opinion. Claude and ChatGPT work well. Claude is my preferred choice. Plugins aren’t practical. What I mean is that they make it too complex. I’ve tried Google AI and CodeBuddy. The UI is too complex, the processing takes too long. CodeBuddy instead of just giving you your results try to insert it directly into your code. Autocomplete is a mess. Jetbrains is good enough. I don’t need another autocomplete. Codebase context is ”

“癲喎...幾句 prompt 就整到個 Carousell 賣嘢助手出嚟，仲幫你諗埋 description、condition、caption 嗰啲位，對我呢啲零 coding 底嘅人嚟講真係好吸引。 以前有 idea 都係得個諗字，依家好似真係可以即刻砌個 prototype 出嚟試吓，呢點幾震撼。”
