👋 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.

Unfortunately my experience was a lot worse. The quality of code and suggestions was not as good vs co-pilot :(

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.

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.

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

Last time they killed Cortana…next is Copilot, it’s just a matter of time

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!

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

One minuto and a half into the video and you already convinced me I don't need copilot anymore

[lukecartwright]

How have I never heard of this yet? This looks amazing! I'll use this on personal projects

[jakubjenis]

Is there a way to set the whole project folder as context? If I understand correctly, it always uses the current file.

Have you tried Cursor? How would this compare to Cursor?

we can hire this guy as wolworine after hugh jackman or as stunt double

[jjaimealeman]

WOW!
If it's good enough for you, it's good enough for me.

does it consume heavy memory? like tabnine for example

Thank you for sharing this and not keeping this to yourself.

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%.

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!

[joshm]

Do you still feel this way after 5 months of use?

[sparthir]

I'm not sure I trust this channel if coding isn't done in dark-mode. ;o)

[scrimb]

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