There are tons of coding assistant in the market and It became quite popular after the GitHub Copilot launch.
Which coding assistant are you using and why? Are these tools help you in productivity or development workflow management efficiently.
I am currently exploring Pieces for Developers It is more than just a Copilot with lots of extra features like OCR, offline coding assistant, multi LLMs supports.

I tried to use ChatGPT 3 and it is quite useful. But I wanted to use an assistant in codium. As I mostly work on private company repos, I am not comfortable with sending private code into a LLM in the internet.
So I am trying to find a good self-hosted solution. RN I am testing github.com/TabbyML/tabby - it is easy to setup in a docker container and can do some basic stuff. Also it can scan local and online repos.
But its really slow without a proper GPU. So I am stuck on the StarCode 1B Model for now. I hope for some models working better on CPUs in the future.
Yes, LLMs access to private codes are a matter of concern for many. Pieces is working towards this, and it stores and safeguards your data on-device and have Offline-First Architecture.
You can give it a try or build your own assistant on top of it, see if it suits your need around privacy. Do let me know if you want to know more or any feedback for our development team.
