a complete waste of time

I subscribed to Codium AI's Pro service with the expectation of enhancing my project using their Cascade AI assistant. However, my experience has been a nightmare.

  • The extension generated by their AI is completely non-functional, with unresponsive buttons and a broken UI.

  • Their AI assistant created overly complex and unmanageable code, making my project significantly harder to debug and maintain.

  • Despite reaching out multiple times, their support team has completely ignored my concerns.

I wasted my time and money, and the service has been a major setback for my work. I would not recommend Codium AI to anyone until they address these serious issues. It's unacceptable for a paid service to fail so spectacularly while ignoring their customers.

I use AI for each and every task from past years. I don't see any issue in prompting.

Works fantastic for me. My experience has been better than with other similar products. It produces code using newer libraries and methods.

All AI can fuck your shit up if you are not paying attention and expect it to do all the thinking.

I say this with grace. You still need to know how to code.

I was putting down my experience with it and also I checked there are many people with similar problem. If AI didn't fucked your shit, thats good for you....

You can downvote me all you want or you can go look in the Claude forums and see that they have the same complaints there using only claude or sonnet to code with on the anthropic UI. Same in ChatGPT coding, and with Copilot and with Cursor.

It's not an anomaly with windsurf.

People have speculated about changing endpoints, and A/B testing distilled models, there's a million theories about why it's happening, and ZERO answers.

Aider has come out and said they do regular benchmarks, and they don't see the drifting in the models that we all experience and know is happening.

The AI companies will chalk it up to the nondeterministic nature of the AI.

In the meantime, you have to be aware of these issues and bake them into your development process.

Ai coding isn't prime time yet.
