Show HN: AI pair programmer for Emacs
github.comI built a pair programmer, using AI, but now am trying to go slow with new languages and paradigms using this package.
I have noticed a decline in my programming skills, and wondered why I couldn't use AI as a pair programmer. Why can it watch what I'm doing over my shoulder and suggest changes? That way I can struggle through problems still and actually learn something.
Results have been good so far :) This is very close to what i've been wanting. I'm slopping' an IDE to eventually explore this space as well. My general thought is AI should be monitoring what i write for code, and not only make suggestions, but allow using the human written code as a template for the final shape. Either rigidly matching it or treating it as a guide. I feel like chat agents are missing the ideal UX, especially with the shortfall of their competence. Having to explain, rather than show, the agent feels like the wrong default UX. Glad to see someone else exploring this space too! Honestly agreed on chat agents missing the ideal UX. At the very least, I think we've all been forced into a chat like UX. I feel like we should have other options too. I love the idea of having the AI be shaped by the human written code as you are writing.
