I guess it depends on what a 'big deal' is exactly, but if it saves me all the Googling I do now then it'll be really useful (to me).
I don't expect them to really provide an intelligent artificial pair programmer, so you're right that this won't help with "any non-trivial complex problem", but that's okay with me.
I don't mind being spoon fed stuff I'm not interested in acquiring 'the hard way'. Do you also disdain autocompletion in your code editors?
- libeclipse 11y agoFunnily enough, I've never used auto-completion. I've even gone through the trouble of deactivating it in Atom, but disdain is a strong word. Also, it just occurred to me that Kite is basically a keylogger. Every keystroke is sent to their servers. That requires a lot of trust.

- aeorgnoieang 11y agoFair enough. And certainly Kite could be a keylogger. So you're right that using it requires a lot of trust.
- libeclipse 11y agoOne thing I will say though. Is that I greatly respect 'the hard way'.
- aeorgnoieang 11y agoMeh – https://xkcd.com/378/ https://xkcd.com/378/ I certainly understand why it's enjoyable, and useful, to setup artificial challenges, but I have way too many projects I'd like to work on, and complete, to want to make programming generally harder.
