It has been 5 years
And this blog did not grow lol.
I hope I did instead.
The impact of AI has not ceased to let the life becoming easier.
Things got evolved much more quickly than we had a chance to reflect.
At the same time, the exploration gets much easier, and I’m here typing my 5 years long journey (kidding)
the set up
The development environent is way too good in my current company.
I haven’t struggled in the compilation and building for a bit.
In college, it’s always VIM-based coding.
Xcode in my first job, then the internal IDE.
Recently, I started helping out some open-sourced projects.
When I hit a permission error, the first instinct is still VIM.
For finding code, Github page. Then, loop.
Github page sometimes hangs.
Then, it will be find/grep in the command line.
The development speed is much slower than at work.
So I went out searching the similar tools to use personally.
I found aider CLI with local model support.
It has a heavy preload to get the full picture of the repo.
One-line changed task can take up to 10 mins with the large model.
Then, found VSCodium with Continue extension.
Continue supports separated model setup for different task - chat/edit/autocomplete/embed(repo mapping)
This draws towards more like what I have at work.
Super happy :D
Repos
Looking back to the repos I created.
They all meant something and for different purposes.
The build environments also differ a lot with the ages.
So how can I preserve the space for each of them to restart?
