Found out Steve Yegge is involved with Sourcegraph Cody so I went straight over to try it out. It’s got a chat interface, but also some recipes. I tried the “code smells” recipe on the code Copilot helped me write.

I figure let the AI assistants argue with each other.

Visual Studio Code showing some Go code and a list of shortcomings found in that code.

Okay yes all Cody’s doing here is a friendly lint, but I like it. If I’m gonna add MegaClippy multidimensional Markov, I kind of prefer the Cody approach helping me figure out how to understand and improve my code to Copilot’s approach of helping me write someone else’s code.

Did a phone screen and it was good but oh gosh I was On the whole time and now my brain has melted.

@mjgardner I’ll take a look at those. All I know so far is from Yegge’s posts:

Trying Hyprland full of nervousness about the whole Wayland on Nvidia (3060 Ti) and so far so hey where’d my mouse pointer go

@mcgrew apparently Nvidia still keeps a lot of information under lock and key, so environments like Wayland are left guessing about bugs.

Making progress.
