I couldn't care less about (any, so also neither about) the LLM hype. Especially didn't bother going to a new web site (ChatGPT), or installing new IDEs etc.
I checked Codeium's mycompany-customized landing page: a one-liner vim plug-in installation and copy pasting an auth token.
I started typing in the very same editor, very same environment, very same everything, and the thing just works, most of the time guesses well what I would want to write, so then I just press tab to accept and voila.
I wasn't expecting such a seamless experience.
I still haven't integrated its "chat" functionality into my workflow (maybe I won't at all). I'm not hyped about it, it just feels like a companion to already working (and correct) code completion.
I read a lot about other people's usages (I'm a devXP engineer), and I feel like that for whatever reason there is more love / hype / faith on their chosen AI companion than how much they actually could improve if took a humble way of understanding code, reading (and writing) docs, reasoning about the engineering solution.
As everything, now AI is losing hype, but somehow (in my bubble) seems like engineers are still high on it. But I also see that this will distill further the set of people who I look up to and want to collaborate with, because e of that mentioned humbleness, as opposed to just accepting text predicted solutions mindlessly.
