With Xcode, @Apple has an opportunity to make the most developer friendly coding environment. But they are sticking to only their dev, and it is nearly unusable. Just like Google's Android Studio, why not have @JetBrains make a Native macOS tool ?

The original Made for @Apple Intelligence phone, iPhone 16, will not get Siri AI.

Wow !! Can I get a refund or replacement?

[MandrakeTech @mandraketech]

@Aaronontheweb Code-1-Flash is pretty good. Waiting for Thinking-1

I am starting to use the Ask - Plan - Agent cycle in VSCode Copilot Chat, and it is working surprisingly well.

[MandrakeTech @mandraketech]

@alexvinidiktov @mjovanovictech @github Trained on 5-mini. Available only in VSCode and Copilot. Very capable. And very attractively priced.

[MandrakeTech @mandraketech]

@MichealColhoun @mjovanovictech @github Closer to Sonnet. But it is different. Very capable.

[MandrakeTech @mandraketech]

Wonder why there is so much conversation about AI being expensive after @github copilot moved from Request based pricing to Token based !!

I have been using Raptor Mini Preview, and MAI Code-1-Flash for small tasks - multi file. And both are good for the price.

[MandrakeTech @mandraketech]

@tiberriver256 @ole_b_peters @GitHubCopilot JetBrains AI charges API rates. Cursor charges API rates for non-Composer usage.

[MandrakeTech @mandraketech]

Don't see MAI Code-1-Flash in @code insider build.

Is it only available in Stable ?

[MandrakeTech @mandraketech]

@film_girl Homebrew on WSL, if i got that right. It works on linux, supported by homebrew team.

[MandrakeTech @mandraketech]

With Microsoft launching their variation of lcc and Apple having announced their container tool last year (hopefully production quality by macOS 27 release
), what is the future for Docker ?

[MandrakeTech @mandraketech]

So now we know. @github copilot on @code MAI Code-1-Flash will be the one that will allow the credits to last longer, just like Cursor has Composer.

Hope they give us a 'reset' for the last few hours of work. That way we can last the month on the Pro+ plan.

[MandrakeTech @mandraketech]

@github copilot moved from request based pricing to token based pricing and everyone I know, and their peer coders, are out of Pro+ credits. This used to have so much earlier that none of us could use up more than 70% earlier, with ridiculously small messages too. Where to now ?

[MandrakeTech @mandraketech]

To top it, @code needs me to get the minimum $10 plan to get autocomplete. Which is kind of crazy. May be time to buy @jetbrains IDE now that the party is over.

@chris__gilroy @DanKulkov Just tell the planner model that you are going to use Y to implement so it should write an appropriate plan to the folder. It will do the job.

[MandrakeTech @mandraketech]

Just noticed apple 'container' support in @code insider !! Looking forward to a fuller release of container at WWDC.

One more proprietary component can go away !!

[MandrakeTech @mandraketech]

@alexellisuk Mounting root still buys all copies have the same commit history. And that is valuable in a lot of cross compare cases with multiple features at the same time.

[MandrakeTech @mandraketech]

@alexellisuk Correct. 'history' is outside, and that has a git client running for me to see all the work.

[MandrakeTech @mandraketech]

@alexellisuk Like i said, my version control is outside. Container only gets the folder.

I did mount the git root and run agent in wtree folder. Worked fine for me. Got the agent to commit regularly.

And git root being outside agent sandbox helps.

Experimented a lot. Like the control.
