Exafunction's Vision for AI in Software Development
Beyond Windsurf, what seems to be Exafunction's broader vision for the future of AI in software engineering? What problems are they trying to solve?
Worth paying for JetBrains AI Assistant?
I've been trying out JetBrains AI in PyCharm and IntelliJ. The integration is smooth and it feels nice not having to switch windows for ChatGPT or Copilot—but I'm not sure it's $10/month?
The refactoring suggestions in IntelliJ are next level. It actually understands the codebase structure and suggests meaningful improvements. Also, using it for commit message generation and it's surprisingly good at capt…
Is GitHub Copilot making me a worse developer?
Been using Copilot the last 6 months and it's obviously amazing, but I've caught myself relying on it without fully understanding the code. Anyone else feel like it's making you lazier? Or has it actually helped you improve? Curious how people are using it without losing the muscle memory.
Totally. Not to mention I have interviews coming up that I'll probably fail real fast without it.
Integrating Speech Recognition into Dev Workflows
How are you using speech recognition AI in your development workflow? For dictating code, notes, or something else?
I've been experimenting with voice coding using Talon. Takes some getting used to but it's amazing for accessibility and reducing RSI.
Advanced Prompt Engineering Techniques for Code Gen
Share your most effective advanced prompt engineering techniques for generating high-quality code or technical documentation with LLMs.
I always include examples of the code style I want in my prompts. The AI picks up on formatting preferences and naming conventions really well.
OpenAI's Impact on the AI Developer Ecosystem
How has OpenAI shaped the current landscape of AI development tools and platforms? What are the biggest pros and cons of their influence?
The API pricing changes really shifted how we think about AI integration costs. Had to rearchitect our whole summarization feature around token efficiency.
Thoughts on Windsurf?
Thinking about going deep on a project with Windsurf and wondering what folks think.
Using Windsurf for our ML pipeline automation and it's been solid. The visual workflow builder makes it easy to chain different AI models together.
Some more info on Kiro terminology & LLMs
Specs = tasks. (or subtask) in a tasks.md file in your project. 1 Spec is like a list of steps (around 5 or so) to build some tiny part of your app; I think they bump that up if its a super complex task. Vibes is easy, so like 1 prompt / reply = 1 Vibe. as for LLM so far Kiro has only 2 options Anth…
ah thanks for confirming the LLMs @samofcode Been using Kiro for some "fun" experimental work, and would love to share some of my tips that helped me grok Kiro’s model: Vibe = talk, Spec = do. Easy mental model. In Spec …
Cline CLI for shell automation
Been trying Cline from the terminal to help with complex commands and script generation. The diff preview + checkpoints feel good, but it's a bit chatty and setup was a pain. Anyone figured out a clean CLI workflow?
I skipped Docker and went pure CLI—works fine once you wire up your API key. Added .clinerules to auto-approve safe commands. No more manual installs after that.
GitHub's Role in AI-Powered Development
With Copilot, Codespaces, and other AI features, GitHub is increasingly becoming an AI platform. What's your take on this evolution and its future direction?
The integration between Copilot and Actions is getting really interesting. AI-generated workflows based on your codebase changes? That's powerful stuff.
