I mostly use it to do a kind of automated code review
Same here, especially when I’m working with plain JS. Just yesterday I was doing some benchmarking and it fixed a variable reference in my code unprompted by commenting the small fix as part of the answer when I asked it something else. I copy-pasted and it worked perfectly. It’s great for small scope stuff like that.
But then again, I had to turn off Codeium that same day when writing documentation because it kept giving me useless and distracting, paragraph-long suggestions restating the obvious. I know it’s not meant for that, but jeez, it reminded me so much of Bing’s awfully distracting autocomplete.
I’ve never felt this sort of technology before that, when it works, it feels like you’re gliding on ice, and when it doesn’t, it feels like ice skating on a dirt road.
