Besides Claude.vim for "AI pair programming"? :) (tbh it works well only for small things)

I'm using Codeium and it's pretty decent at picking up the right context automatically, usually it autocompletes within ~100kLoC project quite flawlessly. (So far I haven't been using the chat much, just autocomplete.)

any reason you don't use the chat often, or maybe it's not your usecase?
I'm not the parent poster, but in my case I very rarely use it because it's not in the Neovim UI; it opens in a browser.

I've also had some issues where it doesn't seem to work reliably, but that could be related to my setup.

yeah I am learning that on neovim you can own a buffer region and instead use that for ai back and forth.. it's a very interesting space
