Super cool! I enjoyed reading Harper Reed's post too. For anyone, who hasn't seen it: https://harper.blog/2025/02/16/my-llm-codegen-workflow-atm/


> Copilot is encouraging us to block users unnecessarily, by suggesting obviously flawed code, which is wrong on every level: wrong ethically, wrong legally, and the wrong way to build software.

I share many of the same worries as the author. This is why I think teams need to build and run their own Copilot-like systems, so that they can guide the suggestions they receive. Each developer and team has their own way of building software, and they need to be able to shape and evolve the suggestions they receive to fit their definition of the "right" way: https://blog.continue.dev/its-time-to-collect-data-on-how-yo...


I've been playing around with it for the last couple days on my Windows machine, using it for local tab-autocomplete in VS Code, and it's been just as good as it is on my Mac


What do you use for tab-autocomplete in VS Code? I've been trying to find something that can replace copilot, just because it sounds fun. Everyhing I've found seems more aimed at entering a prompt and having it refactor code, not completing as you write with no other input.


Cody (https://github.com/sourcegraph/cody) supports using Ollama for autocomplete in VS Code. See the release notes at https://sourcegraph.com/blog/cody-vscode-1.1.0-release for instructions. And soon it'll support Ollama for chat/refactoring as well (https://twitter.com/sqs/status/1750045006382162346/video/1).

Disclaimer: I work on Cody and hacked on this feature.


I use Continue.dev's new tab-autocomplete [1] (disclaimer: I am one of the authors of this open-source project)

Sounds like we should talk, matey?

> RQ2 Findings: StarCoder generated more secure code than CodeGen-2B, CodeGen-2.5 7B, GPT-3.5 and GPT-4.

I wonder why StarCoder might generate more secure code


Reminded me of "Does One Large Model Rule Them All?" from earlier this year: https://maithraraghu.com/blog/2023/does-one-model-rule-them-...


I wonder if this is the same for programming languages too
