Codeium, praised for its seamless integration within popular code editors like VSCode and Neovim, operates as a context-aware assistant, offering real-time code suggestions and completions directly in the IDE.

Its ability to understand the surrounding code and comments enables it to provide highly relevant suggestions, making it an indispensable tool for speeding up the coding process.

Notably, Codeium stands out for its free access to individual developers, making it an attractive option for those looking to leverage AI without incurring additional costs, whereas GitHub has been perpetually cagey about its Copilot offerings and their costs.

As a product of GitHub, Copilot is deeply integrated with the platform's ecosystem, potentially offering smoother workflows for developers who are heavily invested in using GitHub for version control and collaboration.

Imagine AI developer tools as ethereal companions residing within your IDE, whispering suggestions, and solutions as you type.

They blend into the background but are always there to offer a helping hand, whether it's completing a line of code or suggesting an entire function. These "code spirits" are revolutionizing how developers write code, making the process faster, more efficient, and often more enjoyable.

# Thoughts and analysis

## Where I see this going

In the rapidly evolving field of software development, the integration of Generative AI is not just a passing trend but a transformative force.

In the time I've spent experimenting with AI to augment my workflow and enhance my own human capabilities, I've realized incredible productivity gains: shipping more ambitious and complete applications than ever before. I've even enjoyed myself more.

I envision a future where AI-powered tools become indispensable companions, seamlessly augmenting human intelligence with their vast knowledge bases and predictive capabilities.

These tools will not only automate mundane tasks but also inspire innovative solutions by offering insights drawn from a global compendium of code and creativity.

As we move forward, the symbiosis between developer and AI will deepen, leading to the birth of a new era of software development where the boundaries between human creativity and artificial intelligence become increasingly blurred.

## What I would pay for in the future In the future, what I'd consider invaluable is an AI development assistant that transcends the traditional boundaries of code completion and debugging.

I envision an assistant that's deeply integrated into my workflow and data sources (email, calendar, GitHub, bank, etc), capable of understanding the context of my projects across various platforms, project management tools, and even my personal notes.

This AI wouldn't just suggest code; it would understand the nuances of my projects, predict my needs, and offer tailored advice, ranging from architectural decisions to optimizing user experiences.

This level of personalized and context-aware assistance could redefine productivity, making the leap from helpful tool to indispensable partner in the creative process.

## Emotional support and mind defragging with Pi.ai

[Pi.ai](https://pi.ai/) is the most advanced model I've encountered when it comes to relating to human beings.

I have had success using Pi to have a quick chat and talk through something that is frustrating or upsetting me at work, and in between 15 and 25 minutes of conversation, I've processed and worked through the issue and my feelings and am clear headed enough to make forward progress again.

This is a powerful remover of obstacles, because the longer I do what I do, the more clear it becomes that EQ is more critical than IQ.

Noticing when I'm irritated or overwhelmed and having a quick talk with someone highly intelligent and sensitive in order to process things and return with a clear mind is invaluable.

Pi's empathy is off the charts, and it feels like you're speaking with a highly skilled relational therapist.

## How my developer friends and I started using GenAI

Asking the LLM to write scripts to perform one

off tasks (migrating data, cleaning up projects, taking backups of databases, etc)

Asking the LLM to explain a giant and complex stack trace (error) that came from a piece of code we're working with

Asking the LLM to take some unstructured input (raw files, log streams, security audits, etc), extract insights and return a simple list of key
