I really like the control you get with aider over the LLM context. You can /add or /drop source code, markdown notes. You can /clear the chat. /tokens shows you the context and the cost, you can see what each prompt will cost you.
I find aider best used in conjunction with a git diff view in VSCode, I run aider with --no-auto-commits and then manually review each time in VSCode.
I'm keen to learn any AI coding workflows if anyone has any links. I've benefitted greatly from tips such as using type hints and documentation for the LLM's benefit.
