Keep it concrete. Say what you built, where it moved fast, and where it started fighting you.

Skip the vague praise. The useful reviews here tell you what the tool was for, where it saved time, and where it started to bite back.
Editorial notes
Useful context from gptsters, clearly separate from builder proof.
Used for
Added autocomplete and quick edits to a hobby project
Codeium makes a lot of sense for builders who want decent completion without another paid seat. The ceiling is lower than premium tools, but the value is hard to argue with.
Gpsters Editorial
Used for
Used it as a free backup AI layer across several side projects
You can do serious work with Codeium, but it is less of a complete decision system than Cursor or Windsurf. Think reliable helper, not full control tower.
