I use a fair amount of aider - what does Simon's solution offer that aider doesn't? I am usually using a mix of aider and the ChatGPT window. I use ChatGPT for one off queries that aren't super context heavy for my codebase, since pricing can still add up for the API and a lot of the times the questions that I ask don't really need deep context about what I'm doing in the terminal. But when I'm in flow state and I need deep integration with the files I'm changing I switch over to aider with Sonnet - my subjective experience is that Anthropic's models are significantly better for that use case. Curious if Simon's solution is more geared toward the first use case or the second.
The llm command is a general-purpose tool for writing shell scripts that use an llm somehow. For example, generating some llm output and sending it though a Unix pipeline. You can also use it interactively if you like working on the command line.
It’s not specifically about chatting or helping you write code, though you could use it for that if you like.
