Codeium (https://codeium.com) | Software Engineer | Mountain View, CA | Full-time | Onsite

We're working on AI tools for developers (autocomplete, chat, and more unannounced things). We train our own LLMs from scratch and have over 1M downloads across our surfaces. We have many paying enterprise customers and have raised a total of $93M from Kleiner Perkins, Greenoaks, and Founders Fund.

We're hiring for many roles, but in particular are looking for software generalists and Deployed Engineers, which are more heavy on the customer interaction than code (https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/codeium/fd2ca49f-ae99-487c-8a52-75d...). No ML or systems experience required. We also have fall software engineering internships available.

You can see all the open roles and apply here (we pretty much look at every single application): https://codeium.com/careers

Codeium, an innovative AI-driven coding assistant, is changing the game for PHP developers. Integrated seamlessly into your development environment, it provides real-time, context-aware code suggestions. This tool accelerates coding tasks, maintains best practices, and ensures efficient and error-free code. By continuously learning from various code repositories, it keeps your PHP coding modern and compliant with industry standards. Its advantages in boosting productivity and code quality make it a must-have in every PHP developer's toolkit.

When using the AI assistant, your code is sent to Codeium servers for code completion. LiveCodes has a very strict philosophy which mandates that your code never leaves your device unless you choose to.

New Editor Extensions: Codeium, a free alternative to GitHub Copilot for individual users. Enhance your coding experience without breaking the bank.

Varun from the Codeium team here. Everything we send is so that we can return back the best completion for the user. Our extension is actually open source and has had external contributions - https://github.com/Exafunction/codeium.vim and you can see what we are sending from the editor.

There is also Codeium: - Official (vimscript) plugin: https://github.com/Exafunction/codeium.vim - Community lua-cmp-plugin: https://github.com/jcdickinson/codeium.nvim

this is really cool and well done. i will start using it in conjunction with Codeium's plugin (free Copilot alternative): https://github.com/Exafunction/codeium.vim

for transparency: I'm from the Codeium team, and we are big fans of getting this AI gen tech to all developers on all IDEs for free - we've also open sourced an emacs plugin: https://github.com/Exafunction/codeium.el

Although I have iTerm installed, a great terminal for macOS, I honestly live in the VS Code terminal 99.999% of the time.

iterm2…

I am using iTerm2 on my macOS. Other available options are Hyper and VS Code’s inbuilt terminal, which I sometimes use for quick tests. You can open a terminal in VS Code by using the keyboard shortcut CMD + J or CTRL + J on Windows, or View → Terminal.

IME, this is like the golden age of terminal apps in general and macOS-compatible ones in particular. There are several really good terminals for macOS:

[iTerm2 app](https://iterm2.com/)

[Kitty terminal](https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/)

[WezTerm terminal](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/index.html)

[Alacritty](https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty)

My daily driver is WezTerm…

- Runs on Linux, macOS, Windows 10 and FreeBSD

- [Multiplex terminal panes, tabs and windows on local and remote hosts, with native mouse and scrollback](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/multiplexing.html)

- [Ligatures](https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode#fira-code-monospaced-font...), Color Emoji and font fallback, with true color and [dynamic color schemes](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/config/appearance.html#colors).

- [Hyperlinks](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/hyperlinks.html)

- [Searchable Scrollback](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/scrollback.html) (use mouse wheel and `Shift-PageUp` and `Shift PageDown` to navigate, Ctrl-Shift-F to activate search mode)

- xterm style selection of text with mouse; paste selection via `Shift-Insert` (bracketed paste is supported!)

- SGR style mouse reporting (works in vim and tmux)

- Render underline, double-underline, italic, bold, strikethrough (most other terminal emulators do not support as many render attributes)

- Configuration via a [configuration file](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/config/files.html) with hot reloading

- Multiple Windows (Hotkey: `Super-N`)

- Splits/Panes (Split horizontally/vertically: `Ctrl-Shift-Alt-%` and `Ctrl-Shift-Alt-"`, move between panes: `Ctrl-Shift-ArrowKey`)

- Tabs (Hotkey: `Super-T`, next/prev: `Super-Shift-[` and `Super-Shift-]`, go-to: `Super-[1-9]`)

- [SSH client with native tabs](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/ssh.html)

- [Connect to serial ports for embedded/Arduino work](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/serial.html)

- Connect to a local multiplexer server over unix domain sockets

- Connect to a remote multiplexer using SSH or TLS over TCP/IP

- iTerm2 compatible image protocol support, and built-in [imgcat command](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/imgcat.html)

- Kitty graphics support

- Sixel graphics support (experimental: starting in `20200620-160318-e00b076c`)

Over the past few years, my coding journeys have been accompanied by the reliable iTerm2, offering a seamless experience without any fuss. It seemed like I had everything I needed until I came across Warp. Exploring this innovative terminal emulator over the past few weeks has been a delightful revelation, bringing a fresh perspective and exciting features to my development environment. Website link

A decent terminal application (i.e: iterm2, alacritty, etc.)

I’ve tried other new and fancy terminals, but iTerm2 does the job. I use the Fira Code font (with ligatures enabled), and the Dracula colour palette.
