By default devenv uploads your code to their server to train its AI.

OMFG. OK, Devenv is so fucking out. I'm never recommending that shit again. It cannot be trusted.

Thank you for providing a source. I'm disgusted by this.

Its even worse if you go look at the main Dev getting it into nixpkgs, some called it out and her merged his own commit into nixpkgs anyway.

Luckily there are a lot of different tools in this space, including good ole nix shell.
