Copilot is great, but a hundred bucks for what is basically a smart autocomplete seems a bit much - mostly, I hate the fact that the code is constantly transmitted to github (my repos are mostly local) - are there any reasonably convenient options for doing this without github looking over my shoulder all the time? I’m using VSCode but not wedded to it.
Thanks - just installed Codeium - it was the simple to set up in place of codepilot. It seems better so far. It can pull in suggested functions from a search and mod the variable names to fit the code. I don’t know if github could search for functions like that, but it was one of the obvious things in codeium.
Best of all, Codeium is 100% cheaper than github for solo developers.
When I asked it for a fairly basic function it came back immediately with a pre-written suggestion that I could drop straight into the program. For me, using AI in the IDE is pretty much essential now I’ve seen how much more productive I can be when I don’t have to trawl documentation or forums looking for an answer. I just don’t see why I should have to pay a hundred bucks to github for it.
Glad you liked it!, I’m using it with the private API of servicenow and works pretty decently
