• Most Effective Approaches for Debugging Applications

  Artificial intelligence is transforming debugging by accelerating bug detection and suggesting fixes. Bill Mann, Privacy Expert at Cyber Insider, recounts, “I enlisted an LLM to help me, and within a few minutes, found the offending code and sorted out a workaround.” Tools like GitHub Copilot, DeepCode, or CodeQL analyze code patterns, identifying issues faster than manual reviews. A 2024 Gartner report predicts... - Source: dev.to / 10 days ago

• The 10 best AI coding tools for 2025

  GitHub Copilot's model flexibility is something you may want to try. It lets you switch between Anthropic's Claude 3.5 Sonnet, OpenAI o3, and GPT-4o, depending on your task. This means you can use preferred models for different coding problems, optimizing for speed with one model and deep reasoning with another, without switching tools. - Source: dev.to / 23 days ago

• Maker of AI 'vibe coding' app Cursor hits $9B valuation

  > Makes it an easier sell to devs, "you don't have to 'change' editors" and it makes setup easier if you happen to be using VSC But tying it to an editor (including VSCode) means "you have to change editors". I don't use VSCode, so any solution requiring it is a no-go. When we have aider[1], which works with any editor/IDE, I just don't see the value in trying Cursor, et al.

• Claude Code Best Practices

  There's Aider, Plandex and Goose, all of which let you chose various providers and models. Aider also has a well known benchmark[0] that you can check out to help select models. - Aider - https://aider.chat/ | https://github.com/Aider-AI/aider. - Source: Hacker News / 18 days ago

• Gemini 2.5 Flash

  Maybe I am not understanding something here. But there are third party options availabe that to the very same thing (e.g. https://aider.chat/ ) which allow you to plug in a model (or even a combination thereof e.g. Deepseek as architect and claude as code writer) of your choice. Therefore the advantage of the model provider providing such a thing doesn't matter, no? - Source: Hacker News / 19 days ago

• OpenAI Codex

  "gemini 2.5 pro exp" is superior to Claude Sonnet 3.7 when I use it with Aider [1]. And it is free (with some high limit). [1]https://aider.chat/. - Source: Hacker News / 20 days ago

• OpenAI Codex

  You don't pay monthly fee to use OpenAI models through the API. You pay per token. https://openai.com/api/pricing/ There are other CLI coding agents like Aider (https://aider.chat/) that will let you point at any model. The problem is that local models are dramatically worse than these big hosted models — I have not seen anyone claim they are good enough for these kind of tools.
