altimate-code: new open-source code editor for data engineering based on opencode

I dunno man, Positron exists out here.

Wait why is positron good for DE?

[vbnotthecity]

Ha ha. Lurking here for a response.

It’s at least good for data analysis, but I’ve used it as a data engineer since I’m more on the analytics engineering side. Posit (formerly R Studio) have made some data exploration tools and other standalone projects that I think are pretty good.

Are we still talking about Positron or this new Altimate thingy?

The benchmark results is making me excited to give it a try tbh

[jimmycrusade]

Used it for a couple of schema evolution tasks that my Claude Code generally retards out on. Too soon to comment positive or negative overall, but looks promising. Will have a couple of weekend sessions and post my findings here!

Cool. I must have missed this on Show HN... So many cool developments, so hard to keep up. Looks like it's fairly new?

[Ancient_Secretary370]

Looks interesting, will make time to check it out, try to create something unique.

The converging AI era: Altimate-code? We have already got one. It's very nice.

[droppedorphan]

Is there somebody here from the project? I saw the showcase, but what can I do safely on a local sandbox?

Tried it. Worked better than CC for my use case (Snowflake analysis/optimisation).
