Hey HN, We are Sandeep and Naresh, the creators of Aide. We are happy to open source and invite the community to try out Aide which is a VSCode fork built with LLMs integrated. To talk through the features, we engineered the following: - A proactive agent Agent which iterates on the linter errors (powered by the Language Server) and pulls in relevant context by doing go-to-definitions, go-to-references etc and propose fixes or ask for more files which might be missing in the context. - Developer control We encourage you to do edits on top of your coding sessions.
