That's not their code, but it's hosted on GitHub, which does automatic indexing of the code. It's a nice feature that is well integrated in VSCode which significantly speeds up code search capabilities. Claude Code doesn't do that, and is therefore much slower at searching code

As for Claude Code, it still only uses grep to search for keywords, read parts of files, read more files, etc. There is no indexing feature which would speed up code search but also reduce token consumption. There's no blog post, only this feature request: github.com/anthropics/c...

Here's a good blog post from the GitHub Copilot team on how they improved their own code search: github.blog/news-insight...

I have not said that, both provide instructions to the model, but what makes a huge difference is how fast they can provide additional context through code search. The code is way too big to fit in the model (or too expensive), it needs to efficiently find just the code it needs to read

Hum... I was on Visual Studio 2026 Insiders and in a month or so they managed to improve things a lot it seems. I can now get results similar to VSCode in Visual Studio, impressive. bsky.app/profile/awak...

Both are using Claude Sonnet 4.5, the difference is *entirely* in the tooling around the model. GitHub Copilot in VSCode benefits from excellent built-in search, especially with GitHub remote workspace indexing. Even with local indexing from VSCode, GitHub Copilot is much faster than Claude Code

It would be funny if this caused someone to upgrade from Visual Studio 2013 to 2026

As for solution loading time, okay, it's better, and the Visual Studio 2026 interface feels snappier, but my biggest issue is with finding simple and effective ways to optimize build time, and that's mostly on the Roslyn side

The GitHub Copilot integration in Visual Studio is lagging behind VSCode a lot, to the point where I'm recommending regular Visual Studio users switch to VSCode for their AI development work, and use Visual Studio only for the debugger and UI designers

Light snow again this morning

No winter tires yet? 😄

Oh, it looks like the available catalog from HF looks decent enough. It may just be too early for Kimi K2 as it just came out, maybe it'll be there in a few days. Thanks for the tip!

Kimi K2 came out this week and it looks very promising, I don't want to run a watered-down version on my laptop, I'd just like to run it easily in the cloud, in a service that can pull models from HF. Would this be a good fit? bsky.app/profile/mark...

If you only share the end result like "here's a pull request with 10 WinForms dialogs migrated to Avalonia using GitHub Copilot", others will have no idea how much time and effort you spent getting to the desired outcome. Sometimes the trick is as dumb as "I prompted until it worked"
