I can give my broader feedback: - Codegen tools today are still not great: The lack of context and not using LSP really burns down the quality of the generated code. - Autocomplete is great Autocomplete is pretty nice, IMHO it helps finish your thoughts and code faster, its like intellisense but better.

If you are working on a greenfield project, AI codegen really shines today and there are many tools in the market for that.

With Aide, we wanted it to work for engineers who spend >= 6 months on the same project and there are deep dependencies between classes/files and the project overall.

For quick answers, I have a renewed habit of going to o1-preview or sonnet3.5 and then fact checking that with google (not been to stack overflow in a long while now)

Do give AI coding a chance, I think you will be excited to say the least for the coming future and develop habits on how to best use the tool.
