I’ve been using it the past few days. It’s both magical and terrible. They do their own terminal management so you’re fighting env issues that make no sense. It somehow spawns a terminal that can’t find my installed version of node, so then it asks me to brew install one, but will this now screw up my system or no? It’s an uncanny valley moment where it’s close, but also not really there. Hopefully the team can quickly improve this UX and use the native terminal functionality as the foundation of how they interact with the system.
I just got done with my first session in Windsurf. It's mostly magical, but the terminal implementation leaves something to be desired. That doesn't seem like it would take much to fix though. Setting that aside, this thing is insane. I spun up a Django project/app and was able to accomplish in about 5 minutes what would normally take over an hour. The way it seamlessly edits multiple files in unison is unbelievably powerful. You can create a URL route, a view, a model and a template all in one swipe and it gets it right time after time. I'm impressed.
Any idea how Codeium is able to provide users with unlimited access to Sonnet and 4o for only $10 per month? I can easily blow through $10 in API credits from either of them. Is that price going to be sustainable?
Which other extensions have you tried? I've been experimenting with Cline and Continue.dev recently. Continue seems to be the winner for now, but I may give Codeium and Windsurf a try.
It's a cool idea but i really don't see how this is any diff from Cursor IDE. It might have features that are totally diff from Cursor but visually looking it just looks to me exactly like Cursor
for the cynical folks, Codeium has been publishing blogposts with me on AI product thinking and its been remarkable to watch as someone with no vested interest:
That's weird. It just runs my usual zsh profile files. Have you got some very customised shell init?
How can it tackle complex tasks independently if it is completely in sync with the user every step of the way?
The marketing copy seems to promise contradictory properties.

I wonder if a tool exists to strip keyboard noise from YouTube videos?
the ctrl-shift-i for "inline chat - sort of", generate docstrings, control over context, I dunno, a couple small details that make it a little better.
I don't know what model they use but it's quite fast and I don't personally notice an "iq penalty" although I'm sure there is one

yes, they started with "another copilot", and had one of the best years in code for enterprise ai this year.
here they are starting with "another cursor".
see the pattern?
