I’ve used aider to understand new codebases using technologies I don’t know and it did a fantastic job; much faster than grep/find + google.

To be fair in a world of good LSP impls, grep/find are really primative tools to be using. Not saying this isn't better then a more sophisicated editor setup, just that grep and find are a _really_ low bar

Aider can answer questions I can’t search for via LSP, like “what code would process the following URL” and similar.
