You need to try!

IMO this is the best AI coding companion out there. A lot better vs ChatGPT. Switching context between the browser and text editor slows me down considerably. Plus, I always have to add context etc. Honestly the fact that codesnippets can index your entire codebase and use it as a context is incredible. It's one of those that you have to try to believe.
