Is anyone using AI assistance in coding Elixir?
I’m curious whether anyone is using AI (really, LLM) assistance in coding Elixir (especially in Livebooks). If so, which chatbots (etc) seem to be working the best?

It will direct you to your particular Dunning-Kruger minima as fast as possible and once there assure you that a better solution is inconceivable.

I was about to write that I broke my LLM virginity lately. I needed help with an obscure-ish library that assumes 100% proficiency in its domain to be used. Claude taught me how to use it and helped me troubleshoot a problem with the input data.
I still don’t view LLMs as killing programming – they are VERY long way from that – but I can’t deny that with the main search engines being near-useless, the LLMs fill some gaps well.

It is a Large Language Model, not a Large Problem Solving Model after all. A lot of people aren’t managing their own expectations very well when it comes to LLMs.

Why I don’t like the Zed AI integration, or AI integration in general
Prompting with reasoning models includes the whole thinking process, which makes for clunky integratation. Other models I tried would wrap the code in {{code}} occationally and I couldn’t really find any models that generate usable code for the things I asked.
Why I don’t like Zed itself
In terms of why I don’t like the editor, the shortcuts are impractical compared to the ones of the text editor and still require you to use the mouse every now and then. Additionally, many shortcuts simply don’t work under linux, which is an absolute dealbreaker.
The configuration being a json file for a graphical text editor is a thing I already heavily disliked for VS code.
