  • Aider is an LLM agent type app that has a programming assistant and an architect assistant.

    You tell the architect what you want and it scans the structure of your code base to generate the boilerplate. Then the coder fills it in. It has command prompt access to then compile and run etc.

    I haven’t really figured it out yet.



  • The AI also enabled some very bad practices.

    It does not refactor and it makes writing repetitive code so easy you miss opportunities to abstract. In a week when you go to refactor you’re going to spend twice as long on that task.

    As long as you know what you’re doing and guide it accordingly, it’s a good tool.
