Cody
Nice PickDevelopers should use Cody when working on complex codebases where they need quick answers, code generation, or documentation assistance without leaving their IDE
Pros
- +It's particularly useful for onboarding new team members, writing boilerplate code, debugging, and understanding unfamiliar code sections, as it reduces context-switching and speeds up development cycles in modern software projects
- +Related to: sourcegraph, visual-studio-code
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
GitHub Copilot
Developers should use GitHub Copilot to boost productivity, reduce repetitive coding tasks, and accelerate learning by seeing AI-generated examples
Pros
- +It is particularly useful for quickly prototyping features, writing boilerplate code, exploring unfamiliar programming languages or frameworks, and generating unit tests
- +Related to: visual-studio-code, jetbrains-ides
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Cody if: You want it's particularly useful for onboarding new team members, writing boilerplate code, debugging, and understanding unfamiliar code sections, as it reduces context-switching and speeds up development cycles in modern software projects and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use GitHub Copilot if: You prioritize it is particularly useful for quickly prototyping features, writing boilerplate code, exploring unfamiliar programming languages or frameworks, and generating unit tests over what Cody offers.
