Excited to see @augmentcode launch today! We switched from Github Copilot at @lmnt_com earlier this year because Augment is way faster (like…3x faster) and generates higher quality completions that match our own codebase style - haven't looked back.
AI coding tools are everywhere. Yet they all fall short when scaling to 100s of developers and complex codebases. We’re solving this problem @augmentcode. Introducing Augment Code, the first developer AI purpose-built for teams.🧵

I think many folks underestimate how much time codebase style matching saves. New folks need to learn it = ramp up time If your coding assistant gets it wrong = editing time And if wrong style makes it to code review = back and forth time

'hallucination' -> when AI does it 'speculation' -> when a human does it both require the same bullshit detectors lol

it's non-scientific, but context window size feels applicable to humans not just llms

more room for context by itself does not a smart person make, but it certainly factors in

terrible idea: situational awareness & urgency at costco as a resume filter

python serialization is called a pickle because you don't want to be in one, and neither should your data

llm generated shell commands is such a game changer "which ssd failed?" "tell me the serial number of sde"

paper: "our results approach ground truth scores, if you take into account our low number of data points and other statistical factors" (ಠ_ಠ)

Companies that feel authentic rather than “corporate” are the product of obsessive founders who treat marketing tone and copy as part of the brand voice and product experience. They obsessively micromanage it — writing themselves or insisting everyone else align with their taste.
