I’ve found AI powered autocomplete suggestions is actually quite nice. The time save when it gets it right is sometimes significant, but the time lost when it gets it wrong is usually negligible.
good grief, AI powered autocomplete is so bad it slows down my development by an order of magnitude.
It's really set up for failure. It can only fall short of a deterministic, type-aware, contextual autocompletion, something IDEs have been supporting for like a decade.
Yeah, as soon as it was added I immediately saw a massive decrease in effectiveness. It starts by showing exactly what I want, then I hit tab and it autocompletes some bullshit that I do not want. I then have to undo and retype everything rather than using tab. It’s a insane failure of dev tooling.
