Honestly im just so fed up with copilot lately. it keeps giving me these outdated library methods that dont even exist anymore and it takes me longer to fix its mistakes than if i just wrote the code myself. im working on this fintech dashboard for a client in Seattle and the deadline is next friday so i cant keep wasting time. i need something that actually understands context and doesnt hallucinate every five minutes. my budget is around 40 bucks a month if it actually works.
what are you guys actually using for professional coding tasks that wont break my workflow?
Re: Tabnine being reliable, i agree. market-wise, Codeium Extension Individual Plan offers similar typescript accuracy for free. performance is solid for complex code, just make sure to check their telemetry settings first...
Like someone mentioned, context is everything. I spent hours debugging ghost methods before trying Supermaven Pro Subscription. It works well for TS projects.
In my experience, Tabnine Pro Subscription is the safest bet for reliability. TL;DR: use it for complex TypeScript so fake methods dont ruin your workflow.
I'm really satisfied since switching to Cursor AI Code Editor Pro Subscription.
> i need something that actually understands context I tried Sourcegraph Cody Pro Subscription recently since it indexes local files to find context. It really saved my React project last week. Are you on VS Code or something else?

Totally get the frustration with Copilot, it's been such a letdown lately. I had issues with it recently where it kept hallucinating props for a library I was using and it honestly felt like I was fighting the tool more than coding... such a time sink. I ended up switching my workflow to use Claude 3.5 Sonnet via Anthropic Console for the heavy lifting. It's miles ahead for TypeScript accuracy compared to what I was getting before. If you want that project-wide context you're looking for, maybe check out Aider AI CLI Coding Assistant. It takes a bit to get used to the terminal flow but it actually reads your whole repo and makes edits that dont break things. If you're stuck in VS Code tho, Continue Extension for VS Code is decent if you hook it up to a solid model. It's not perfect and the setup can be a bit fiddly, but at least it wont lie to you about which methods exist lol.
Ok adding this to my list of things to try. Thanks for the tip!
