Comment on Ask HN: How do you use Vim in the era of AI?

Comments

Use it to write and edit code when that makes sense for you to do so. Just like you always have. It's an extremely useful skill to have even still.

I've had much more success with agents reviewing my code and offering inline autocomplete over LSP than I have with letting the agents write the code, which I then try to review. I end up with a much better mental model of the code and higher quality output than either I or the agent could do alone.
